orcmid opened a new issue #42: URL: https://github.com/apache/openoffice-docs/issues/42
The purpose of a `.gitattributes` file is to prevent treatment of binary files as text, corrupting them on movement to and from working folders. Use of `.gitignore` is to exclude certain files and directories from the git altogether, even though they might appear in the working folders. They will never be included in a commit and in extraction of the branch into a working folder set. The formats are also different. Renaming that `.gitignore` that contains Git Attributes information to `.gitattributes` should achieve the intended effects. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
