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.

Our .h/.c detection is still a little blurry between C, C++ and Obj-C. We have some plans to improve this based on files in the directory (if there's a .cpp, the .h is most likely C++) or keywords (If there's an @implementation keyword, it's most likely Obj-C) but we haven't had a chance to deploy it yet.

Prolog code is also incorrectly identified as Perl code. The
extension .pl is used by both, so heuristics could be:
1) whether the file starts with a Perl shebang
2) signs that it is Prolog: whether the file has lines starting with %
(comments in Prolog), lines ending with ".", and frequent occurrences
of ":-".
