Feature #11713: [PATCH] add .gitattributes

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: normalperson (Eric Wong)
• Target version: -

[normalperson (Eric Wong)]

This improves method detection for Ruby source files;
making output of "git diff" and "git log -p -W" more
readable for git users looking at our Ruby code.

git will automatically notice this file and start using
it when generating diff output.

See the gitattributes(5) manpage for more details.
Ruby pattern definitions reside in userdiff.c of the
git sources at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

I don't think adding this file will break snapshot/tarball
generation, will it? Will commit soonish.

• Status changed from Open to Closed

Applied in changeset r52674.
