attr.tree::
	A reference to a tree in the repository from which to read attributes,
	instead of the `.gitattributes` file in the working tree. If the value
	does not resolve to a valid tree object, an empty tree is used instead.
	When the `GIT_ATTR_SOURCE` environment variable or `--attr-source`
	command line option are used, this configuration variable has no effect.

Title: attr.tree Configuration Variable

Summary

Specifies a tree in the repository to read attributes from, overriding the default .gitattributes file in the working tree, allowing for more flexible attribute management, but is overridden by the GIT_ATTR_SOURCE environment variable or --attr-source command line option, and defaults to an empty tree if the specified value is invalid.
