gitattributes

The .gitattributes system together with input/output filters has already
proven exceptionally useful for me. I've got some co-workers which
do not seem to care about CRLF line endings or whitespace damage.

core.autocrlf = input

and

[filter "whitespace"]
  clean = stripspace
  smudge = cat

and

*.php  filter=whitespace
*.tpl  filter=whitespace

saves me minutes every day when I review changes made by others,
because otherwise the diffs are getting illegible (Sometimes, the whole
file is shown twice only because the line-ending changed)

It would be really great if these features were included in the next
release.


Thanks,
Matthias
