It is easily overridable; just put your own "*.m" (or anything that
matches your files) entry into your gitattributes file. I'm more
concerned that people will start getting worse results than with the
default, and not know how to fix it.

If you have some Matlab files, would you mind doing diffs with the
default driver and with the objc driver, and comment on how good or bad
the results are?
