dgit: gitattributes: Defuse working-tree-encoding
* Add -working-tree-encoding to $negate_harmful_gitattrs. * Add new arrangements for updating an existing dgit-defuse-attrs macro definition: - is_gitattrs: say whether the macro is up to date - setup_gitattrs: update an existing out-of-date macro - minor message changes - document the new behaviour One consequence is that we have had to breach the promise about how to stop future dgit setup-new-tree runs messing with this: it is now necessary to disapply the macro, rather than redefine it. Closes:#901900. Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
