Using the -C and -M flags to git diff, et al will fix that issue.
Kernel.org made that change after I suggested it; it went over well
with the lkml devs.

IMHO, if these are filtered out, they should be a separate list rather
than just dumped.  Or, alternatively, changes to such files could be
replaced with the cgit url showing said change.

In addition to the above, I've noticed that some of the commit notices
have left off the X-Topics: header.  Using only Keywords: isn't awful,
but for filtering it would be better to have a header which is defined
to always specify the repo.  Maybe something like X-Git-Repo: could be
added?
