Shouldn't this be the highest precedence? This would be important for those cases where I (as a fringe developer) disagree with an attribute that's been assigned in-tree. I don't want to force my will on every other developer, but would want my repository to work how I like it.

For example: what if I /can/ read postscript :-)
Incidentally - already I love gitattributes - nicely done Junio.
