Oh, nevermind. This breaks the matching, and results are crazy.
I will revert it on a v4.

The real solver is:
*/Kconfig*
*/Kbuild*
*/Makefile*

The thing is that if I add just "Kconfig*" it only matches a Kconfig* in
the root dir.

I was talking on a previous thread, and it would probably be interesting
to add "*types.h" before *.h.

I need to think about a way to filter them out when matching "*.h", or it
won't work because of:

Git doc:
"The output order is determined by the order of glob patterns in <orderfile>.
All files with pathnames that match the first pattern are output first, all
files with pathnames that match the second pattern (but not the first) are
output next, and so on."

i.e. the file will be put in the category of the last pattern it matches,
and it makes harder to get "*types.h" before "*.h".

Trying to think on some solution.
