Yeah.

I wasn't sure either. I'm assuming info/gitattributes was made with higher priority, so that that users could override .gitattributes without polluting their repository, so I made the new ones behave the same way. But now that I think of it, you probably want to do that only for a specific repository, and have defaults for all repositories that could be overriden by local .gitattributes. I'm going to rewrite it this way.
