When using a bare repo with an index, libgit2 attempts to read
files from the index.  It caches those files based on the path
to the file, specifically the path to the directory that contains
the file.

If there is no working directory, we use `git_path_dirname_r` to
get the path to the containing directory.  However, for the
`.gitattributes` file in the root of the repository, this ends up
normalizing the containing path to `"."` instead of the empty
string and the lookup the `.gitattributes` data fails.

This adds a test of attribute lookups on bare repos and also
fixes the problem by simply rewriting `"."` to be `""`.
