Before doing an index-based checkout, the code now reads .git/info/attributes and refuses to proceed if the file is missing, oversized, not a plain file, or sets a filter, working-tree-encoding, or ident rule. Such rules would only be obeyed by this cloud checkout and could otherwise produce inconsistent results; the error message tells you to delete the offending line.
