I couldn't find anything in gitattributes(5) that was worth the bother of enabling this (e.g. we just have one Ruby file).

The last one in the above list makes it look as if you are adding the func header pattern and/or textconv filter for Python source code, but the patch actually just specifies that .py is to be processed by the existing diff driver meant for Python, and at least to me, the wording for the second one reflects that better. ```
