Hi!

I added the following to my gitconfig and attributes files to improve 
diffs in manual pages.  Would you mind adding support for them in git(1)?

Thanks,

Alex

P.S.: The extension I used in the attributes file is imperfect, since a 
glob wouldn't allow me as much precission as a regex.  With a regex, it 
would be written as '\.[1-9][[:lower:]]*$'.
