Sorry, this was my fault. IIRC I had added the files to the
commit with "add *" and thus missed .gitattributes, and I did
not know about the effect the delayed commit of that missing
file would cause.

Maybe the best solution is to revert all the commits and then
start over with a single commit that includes .gitattributes.

The Windows specific files are not relevant for FreeBSD, but I'd
rather perform the vendor import and cherry-pick without too many
changes to the upstream version.

I had planned to MFC to stable/13 and 12 this weekend, but will
wait for the issue to be settled in the main branch, now.
