51441e64 (stop using HEAD for attributes in bare repository by
default, 2024-05-03) has addressed a recent performance regression
by partially reverting a topic that was merged at
26dd307c (Merge
branch 'jc/attr-tree-config', 2023-10-30). But it forgot to update
the documentation to remove the mention of a special case in bare
repositories.
Let's update the document before the update hits the next release.

- instead of the `.gitattributes` file in the working tree. In a bare
- repository, this defaults to `HEAD:.gitattributes`. 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.
