Please send a patch to set .gitignore to handle Documentation/misc-devices/mei/mei-amt-version
I'm tired of seeing Documentation/misc-devices/mei/mei-amt-version show up in 'git status' as an untracked file, care to please fix it up?
But really, shouldn't binary files like this to into tools/ instead of Documentation?
thanks,

Oh right I forgot the .gitignore
Maybe we can add some CONFIG_ option to avoid unconditional compilation of the example code, what do you think?

I'm not sure it is really a tool it just really example code.
There are other examples of that e.g. Documentation/watchdog/src/watchdog-test and some more
Thanks

tools/ is newer than those files, and how are they generated, by CONFIG options, or something else?
