Unclear The finding does not say what situation triggers the new host_config refusal.
What
File sync sometimes refuses to work with a project. One reason is a problem with .git/info/attributes, a Git file that holds per-project rules about how files are treated. The refusal message for that file now names the kinds of line file sync cannot vouch for:
a filter or encoding rule
an attribute macro
a quoted pattern
The message also covers the case where the file cannot be read as a plain file.
There is also a new refusal case called host_config. Its message shows a reason passed along with the refusal. It goes with a new hostConfig field in the result that file sync reports after applying changes.
Why
If file sync refuses a project because of .git/info/attributes, the message now tells you which kinds of line to look for, so you know what to check or remove.
