    kbuild: make W=1 warn files that are tracked but ignored by git · 91ecf7ff
    Masahiro Yamada authored
    The top .gitignore comments about how to detect files breaking
    .gitignore rules, but people rarely care about it.
    
    Add a new W=1 warning to detect files that are tracked but ignored by
    git. If git is not installed or the source tree is not tracked by git
    at all, this script does not print anything.
    
    Running it on v6.2-rc1 detected the following:
    
      $ make W=1 misc-check
      Documentation/devicetree/bindings/.yamllint: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
      drivers/clk/.kunitconfig: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
      drivers/gpu/drm/tests/.kunitconfig: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
      drivers/hid/.kunitconfig: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
      fs/ext4/.kunitconfig: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
      fs/fat/.kunitconfig: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
      kernel/kcsan/.kunitconfig: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
      lib/kunit/.kunitconfig: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
      mm/kfence/.kunitconfig: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
      tools/testing/selftests/arm64/tags/.gitignore: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
      tools/testing/selftests/arm64/tags/Makefile: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
      tools/testing/selftests/arm64/tags/run_tags_test.sh: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
      tools/testing/selftests/arm64/tags/tags_test.c: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
    
    These are ignored by the '.*' or 'tags' in the top .gitignore, but
    there is no rule to negate it.
    
    You might be tempted to do 'git add -f' but I want to have the real
    issue fixed (by fixing a .gitignore, or by renaming files, etc.).
