I'd explain this change a bit differently, but the end result I
agree with.  These days we no longer have any .txt file under the
Documentation/ hierarchy, so no matter what the other gitattributes
files at the upper level(s) do, this attribute definition for .txt
file would not do anything, so it makes perfect sense to lose it.
