From 0922570c76ae407e30477d27d72bb9d72c4b65f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Haggerty Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2011 15:41:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] gitattributes: Reword "attribute macro" to "macro attribute" The new wording makes it clearer that such a beast is an attribute in addition to being a macro (as opposed to being only a macro that is used for attributes).
