True, how about this instead?

That makes things more clear, although I'd still like a t/.gitattributes 
that meant that, regardless of the project's policies in general, t/ files 
may care about whitespace, so we don't have to worry about that in future 
changes to the top level .gitattributes.

Ok, that's sensible.

This is what I'll apply.  We can tighten and/or loosen per type
of the contents as we discover glitches.
