The repeated word check generated false positives for
the following pattern:

"git git://..."

This resulted in lots of warnings in the MAINTAINERS file
which shouldn't have been generated.

Fixed this issue by adding "git" to the exception list
for repeated word check.

In addition, modified $word_pattern to capture words which
may contain a single letter like "a".
This ensures that repeated word warning in cases like
"This is a a repetition" are also generated.
