There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think this is the right balance.
For future reference: while the contents of this file can influence the outcomes of git statistics depending on the method used, it does not influence GitHub's reported statistics. The focus of this PR is rather on correct identification of the languages of various files: for collecting statistics on such, and for ensuring that file content differences are displayed as desired.

Adds a
.gitattributesfile to setgit diffattributes for the most common file types in the repo. This allows to specify the programming language where Linguist doesn't detect it correctly (that 0.2% C, for instance), and also to exclude the SVG icons and the atlas parcellation files from thegitstats.We may want to discuss if we want to count the user documentation as part of the code base or not. Currently, they show up in the stats and account for a fair number of line changes because of their verbosity. If we want to, we should be able to suppress them by adding a
-diffflag in the.gitattributesfile.
