"rm -f X" can return non-zero status if "X" exists and cannot be
removed (e.g. "X" is a directory, X is in a directory you cannot
write to). The only thing "-f" prevents the command from returning
non-zero status is when "X" does not exist.
That means that this change will change the behaviour. Let's see if
it does in a good way or a bad way.

This is so that leftover .gitattributes from previous tests will not
affect the outcome of this test. If .gitattributes left by earlier
tests cannot be removed for whatever reason, we would want to know
about it, so changing to "rm -f" to make the tests more strict is a
good move.

Likewise.

Likewise, but I think it makes more sense to remove them with a
single invocation of "rm -f".

Thanks. In short, I think all of the changes in the patch are good.
