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.
