Generating diff text

The attribute `diff` affects if `git diff` generates textual
patch for the path or just says `Binary files differ`.

Set::
	A path to which the `crlf` attribute is set is treated

                             ^^^^

	as text, even when they contain funny bytes such as NUL.

Unset::
	A path to which the `crlf` attribute is unset will

                             ^^^^

	generate `Binary files differ`.

Unspecified::
	A path to which the `crlf` attribute is unspecified

                             ^^^^

Remnants of a cut'n paste?
