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.
