Also, any other extensions that would go into such a list?

*.bib diff=bibtex
*.tex diff=tex

I had those ones already. ;P

*.[Ff] diff=fortran
*.[Ff][0-9][0-9] diff=fortran

Thanks, I'll add those. I don't see a big problem with generalizing
f[0-9][0-9] to always be fortran, even though many of those numbers
aren't used. I don't think I've ever seen one used for anything else.

Should all of our matches be case-insensitive? That is, should we be
matching both .HTML and .html? Clearly lowercase is the One True Way,
but I don't know what kind of junk people with case-insensitive
filesystems have, or whether we should even worry about it.

Wikipedia says that .for is an extension for fortran, but I've never
seen that in the wild.  Maybe it's a windows thing (3-char ext).

We can leave it out. It's easy enough for somebody to add their own
gitattribute if they want, or to even complain that it should be in the
default set. I was trying to keep this list to the utterly common, not
become a catalogue of obscure fortran customs. :)
