No, it *is* about attributes.

In order to know how to convert, you need to know the attributes of the 
file.

So it's not about conversion: we would ALWAYS do conversion. It's about 
the fact that in order to do the conversion, we need to know what the 
attributes of the file is - is it text, or what.

And the equal point is that there are _other_ attributes that git might 
care about. The "merge strategy" attribute, for example. Or "owner" 
attributes for files etc.
