Similarly to the .gitignore Templates, we're trying to build
templates for .gitattributes.
Common.gitattributes contains general exclusions that may apply to any project.
Consider including them if they are applicable to your project.
You can use this handy dandy generator to generate your gitattributes files on the fly based on files inside of this repository.
Please contribute by forking and sending a pull request.
Also please only modify one file per commit. This'll make merging easier for everyone.
