Subject: stagit: do not patch example.sh shebang
Date: Tue, 2 May 2017 16:15:52 +0000

Hi,
I just noticed that stagit's example.sh has a patched shebang.
While I would assume that everyone notices when this fails,
it would probably be good to not make too optimistic assumptions
and keep #!/bin/sh in the file.

I think that we need a generic way to mask files from the shebang
patcher. There are several packages that includes files whose shebangs
are inappropriately patched.

We should merge these bugs:

<https://bugs.gnu.org/25304>
<https://bugs.gnu.org/25508>
<https://bugs.gnu.org/26749> (this bug)
