From 3a51ff344204e4f23b6ee9c564ac76e207a9e130 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Kondratiev Date: Sun, 3 Feb 2019 10:48:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: gitignore output directory When compiling into output directory using O=, many files created under KBUILD_OUTPUT that git considers as new ones; git clients, ex.
