I didn't actually check if there were many
new false positives, but
clearly that's one.
Maybe exclude the MAINTAINERS file?
- if ($rawline =~ /^\+/ || $in_commit_log) {
+ if (($rawline =~ /^\+/ || $in_commit_log) && $realfile ne
"MAINTAINERS") {
Maybe add git to the check for "long long"?
- next if ($first eq 'long');
+ next if ($first =~ /^(?:long|git)$/);
