Allow gitattributes to be set globally and system wide. This way, settings
for particular file types can be set in one place and apply for all user's
repositories.

I really can't wait till this gets into Git and I'm certainly not the
only one (thank you so much for working on it, Petr!).

Same here ;-).

Any reason the patch still hasn't been applied?

Usually, patches are applied if either

1) Junio has personal interest in it, or

2) Other people review the code and show interest for it.

(1) is a bit more subtle than that.  Even when I do not foresee using a
proposed feature myself, if I can imagine somebody else would benefit, and
more importantly if I can see a healthy rationale behind the change so
that I can convince myself to be an advocate of that change to the end
users, such a change will fall into category (1).  That is why I often ask
people to justify their changes better than they originally do.

Isn't the patch in question on 'pu' to be tried by interested parties
already?
