I didn't actually check if there were many
new false positives, but
clearly that's one.

Maybe exclude the MAINTAINERS file?

-		if ($rawline =~ /^\+/ || $in_commit_log) {
+		if (($rawline =~ /^\+/ || $in_commit_log) && $realfile ne "MAINTAINERS") {

Maybe add git to the check for "long long"?

-				next if ($first eq 'long');
+				next if ($first =~ /^(?:long|git)$/);
