Associate *.git* files with TextEditor

Builded against Indigo and tested in Kepler.

  <editor
        class="org.eclipse.ui.editors.text.TextEditor"
        contributorClass="org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.BasicTextEditorActionContributor"
        default="true"
        extensions="gitignore,gitmodules,gitattributes"
        icon="icons/git.ico"
        id="org.eclipse.ui.DefaultTextEditor"
        name="Text Editor">
  </editor>

I got tired of Eclipse opening .gitignore in external Editor and Eclipse crashes when changing files associations.
Bug 412518 - Changing file associations causes Eclipse Kepler to crash (was .gitignore value causes Eclipse crash)

.gitattributes file will not be used by EGit, see open Bug 342372 - support gitattributes
