b4 utility [1] is introduced by Linux Kernel developers and used to fetch patches and patch series from lore.kernel.org and is proven to be useful for U-Boot development. Detailed usage of the tool can be read under post from the original author [2].
This tool fetches files from the list and populates the source folder with additional files (*.cover and *.mbx) which are not ignored by git and shown as newly added files.
Add those file patterns into .gitignore file, so they can be safely skipped during changes attestation.
