Add 'ident' conversion.

The 'ident' attribute set to path squashes "$ident:<any bytes
except dollor sign>$" to "$ident$" upon checkin, and expands it
to "$ident: <blob SHA-1> $" upon checkout.

As we have two conversions that affect checkin/checkout paths,
clarify how they interact with each other.

+`ident`
+^^^^^^^
+
+When the attribute `ident` is set to a path, git replaces
+`$ident$` in the blob object with `$ident:`, followed by
+40-character hexadecimal blob object name, followed by a dollar
+sign `$` upon checkout.  Any byte sequence that begins with
+`$ident:` and ends with `$` in the worktree file is replaced
+with `$ident$` upon check-in.
+
+
+Interaction between checkin/checkout attributes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In the check-in codepath, the worktree file is first converted
+with `ident` (if specified), and then with `crlf` (again, if
+specified and applicable).
+
+In the check-out codepath, the blob content is first converted
+with `crlf`, and then `ident`.
