Does git need to know about language? (I mean, beyond the fact that the file is "text" or "binary")

*.h files can be C, Ch, C++, Objective-C or Objective-C++. When compiling a program that includes such a file, the compiler will parse it according to where the *.h file is included, and your make target should set the appropriate dependencies, but a versioning system? I would only expect it to deliver the file version corresponding to whatever changeset you have made current, either by fetching the appropriate full copy of the file, or by applying the appropriate diff compared with the current version.
