Maybe the generated files should be listed rather than use *, so that if somebody in future adds a text file here it does not get treated as a binary file.
Also apps/backend has a number of generated files.

I've been trying this (thantks Scott):

$ cat html/apps/backend/.gitattributes 
*.css binary
*.js binary

I have pushed the change to add a gitaccess file to html/apps and html/backend. You can remove this commit from your pull request.

Git looks up the tree for .gitattributes, which is why I only added the one in mythtv/html/apps since git will also use it for mythtv/html/apps/backend. Regardless, having one in each directory is probably better.
