Subject: [PATCH] .gitattributes: Enable cpp diff parsing for .[ch] files
Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2011 15:37:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E56CE8F.8080501@panasas.com> (raw)


The Linux Kernel source tree is certainly a C language repository.
As a maintainer and code reviewer I would like too, for example:
See function names as hunk headers and not goto labels. And all
the other goodies a language specific diff parser gives me.

Add a .gitattributes file to the Linux tree to enable cpp parsing
of the source files.

People are welcome to add other parsers for other type of files
if needed. (Like Makefile or Kconfig ...)
