Yeah, thanks.  I reworded the sentence number of times and somehow crufts
were left behind.  Fixed, together with the double space before "upon",
before committing.

I am actually more surprised by the lack of any surprised comment about
the unadvertised presense of "binary" (pseudo)attribute, though.  The
support has been there since f48fd68 (attribute macro support,
2007-04-14), two days after introduction of gitattributes mechanism.

Maybe somebody should re-read the log message of that commit, and refine
the attribute macros sections the patch under discussion has added.

Somebody who can write and spell English better than me, that is ;-)
