    .gitattributes: set diff driver for Rust source code files · 8f8d4be9

    Git supports a builtin Rust diff driver [1] since v2.23.0 (2019).
    
    It improves the choice of hunk headers in some cases, such as
    diffs within methods, since those are indented in Rust within
    an `impl` block, and therefore the default diff driver would
    pick the outer `impl` block instead (rather than the method
    where the changed code is).
    
    For instance, with the default diff driver:
