Even if we did so, I suspect that projects around Matlab would have to say "Give attributes *.m diff=matlab" in their README files anyway, so if we accept that, it wouldn't be too much additional trouble for the same README files to also say "Specify diff.matlab.xfuncname to this pattern" as well. So in a sense, it might help reducing the confusion if we dropped the built-in Matlab pattern rule we recently added. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
