The attributes in question:

% xattr /tmp/proj-data/*_README.txt
/tmp/proj-data/fr_ign_README.txt: 
com.apple.metadata:kMDItemKeyphraseConfidences
/tmp/proj-data/fr_ign_README.txt: com.apple.metadata:kMDItemKeyphraseLabels
/tmp/proj-data/fr_ign_README.txt: com.apple.metadata:kMDItemKeyphraseVersion
/tmp/proj-data/fr_ign_README.txt: 
com.apple.metadata:kMDItemTextContentLanguage
/tmp/proj-data/no_kv_README.txt: 
com.apple.metadata:kMDItemKeyphraseConfidences
/tmp/proj-data/no_kv_README.txt: com.apple.metadata:kMDItemKeyphraseLabels
/tmp/proj-data/no_kv_README.txt: com.apple.metadata:kMDItemKeyphraseVersion
/tmp/proj-data/no_kv_README.txt: 
com.apple.metadata:kMDItemTextContentLanguage

Removing them:

% xattr -c /tmp/proj-data/*_README.txt
% xattr /tmp/proj-data/*_README.txt
%

The *_README.txt files in the git repo don't seem to have these attributes.

Kind Regards,

Bas
