I'd explain this change a bit differently, but the end result I agree with. These days we no longer have any .txt file under the Documentation/ hierarchy, so no matter what the other gitattributes files at the upper level(s) do, this attribute definition for .txt file would not do anything, so it makes perfect sense to lose it. > Signed-off-by: Todd Zullinger <tmz@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > Documentation/.gitattributes | 1 - > 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) > delete mode 100644 Documentation/.gitattributes > > diff --git a/Documentation/.gitattributes b/Documentation/.gitattributes > deleted file mode 100644 > index ddb030137d..0000000000 > --- a/Documentation/.gitattributes > +++ /dev/null > @@ -1 +0,0 @@ > -*.txt whitespace
