Thanks.
This typo come from 1f34e0cd (.gitattributes: include `text`
attribute for eol attributes, 2023-02-03), that added "text" to
those entries with eol=lf, which inherited from 20460635
(.gitattributes: use the "perl" differ for Perl, 2018-04-26), which
inherited it while it was adding diff=perl from 00acdbc6
(.gitattributes: add *.pl extension for Perl, 2018-04-26) that added
the .pl pattern. It is interesting that nobody seems to have
noticed the typo during the reviews of these three patches that
touched these lines ;-).
By the way, we'd prefer to interact with humans with real sounding
names rather than handles, especially when it is not particularly
secret. Your authorship and sign-off information will blend better
in the community if you used "Koutian Wu".
