The Linux Kernel source tree is certainly a C language repository. As a maintainer and code reviewer I would like too, for example: See function names as hunk headers and not goto labels. And all the other goodies a language specific diff parser gives me. Add a .gitattributes file to the Linux tree to enable cpp parsing of the source files. People are welcome to add other parsers for other type of files if needed. (Like Makefile or Kconfig ...)
