in fact be UTF-16LE-BOM (no hyphen between '16' and 'LE').

Thanks for the patch.

I think that patch 1/2  is in upstream Git,
and even in git-for-windows/master - on which codebase are you ?

commit e6e15194a85af68db9f9ce076eb32c47e7063b3c
   gitattributes.txt: fix typo

    `UTF-16-LE-BOM` to `UTF-16LE-BOM`.

    this closes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2095

Patch 2/2 makes sense and cleans up my mess.

Sorry, it's my first time submitting a patch, so I'm probably somewhat
incompetent :D
I was trying to follow the instructions in
git/Documentation/SubmittingPatches and based my patches on the
"maint" branch from https://github.com/git/git.git.
