Hmm, I thought the .gitattributes file would prevent this:

$ git diff --staged --check
src/test/regress/expected/join.out:3110: trailing whitespace.
+ q1 | q2 | f1 | ff

Is there something I have to do to configure git to honor the file?

(In case it matters, this is git 1.7.1, which is what Red Hat is
shipping these days in RHEL6.)
