Those are fake issues though and I can't imagine how they would affect
anyone. My issue was super annoying for me because I was sending find
output to a script and it was almost mailing the correct people because
it was using git output. I had to debug for a long time before I
spotted the difference between ./drivers/media/radio/wl128x/fmdrv_common.c
and drivers/media/radio/wl128x/fmdrv_common.c.

I feel like I have seen this before and just manually added the correct
mailing lists back. It's crazy annoying and easy to do.

I have no idea what this means... It sounds like a good idea though.
:) Please give me Reported-by credit.
