Re: Trying to use xfuncname without success.

[Jack Adrian Zappa <adrianh.bsc@gmail.com>]

That was it.  I have a .gitattributes file in my home directory.
Ahhh, but it's not in my %userprofile% directory, but in my ~
directory.

A bit confusing having 2 home directories.  I made a link to my
.gitconfig, but forgot to make a link to my .gitattributes.

Thanks.
