.gitignore works the exact same way. If you modify .gitignore then git status will immediately reflect those changes. You don't even have to store either file in the repository (.gitignore or .gitattributes). That is for your benefit, and for easily sharing that configuration with collaborators. Git only cares that the file exists in your working tree at run-time.
