From 218dd85887da3d7d08119de18e9d325fcf30d7a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de> Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2016 17:03:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] .gitattributes: set git diff driver for C source code files Git can be told to apply language-specific rules when generating diffs. Enable this for C source code files (*.c and *.h) so that function names are printed right. Specifically, doing so prevents "git diff" from mistakenly considering unindented goto labels as function names.
