Subject: [PATCH] get_maintainer: Exclude MAINTAINERS file(s) from --git-fallback and --git-blame
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2020 10:40:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1787fba7e252f053ef321b349f3bac39a8cdf503.camel@perches.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAL_JsqLBfwXamvCB0C9ujhy-BS6P4BpU-MWPuZX+_+sYPVsUSg@mail.gmail.com>

MAINTAINERS files generally have no specific maintainer but are updated
by individuals for subsystems all over the source tree.

Exclude MAINTAINERS file(s) from --git-fallback and --git-blame searches
so the unlucky individuals that update the files the most are not shown.
