Hi!
I added the following to my gitconfig and attributes files to improve
diffs in manual pages. Would you mind adding support for them in git(1)?
Thanks,
Alex
P.S.: The extension I used in the attributes file is imperfect, since a
glob wouldn't allow me as much precission as a regex. With a regex, it
would be written as '\.[1-9][[:lower:]]*$'.
