> treated as binaries
Reread carefully.
1) There is no "-diff" attribute. There is a "diff" attribute that
affects *how* (not *whether*) files are diff.
2) A "-" in front of an attribute unsets the attribute.
3) The "diff" attribute, when unset, treats the file as binary.
ergo
4) Using "-diff" in .gitattributes treats the final as binary.
