To put it another way, we do not have "end-of-line comment"
(i.e. the leading part of a line has payload, but the line is
chomped in the middle with a comment character and the remainder of
the line is ignored) at all.  We have "commented line" (in other
words, a line that is totally commented out and gets ignored).

I think it is very clearly documented in "git help attributes":

    A `gitattributes` file is a simple text file that gives
    `attributes` to pathnames.

    Each line in `gitattributes` file is of form:

            pattern attr1 attr2 ...

    That is, a pattern followed by an attributes list,
    separated by whitespaces. Leading and trailing whitespaces are
    ignored. Lines that begin with '#' are ignored. Patterns
    that begin with a double quote are quoted in C style.
