Exclude files from "most recent files" section

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My "most recent files" list is often polluted with files that I never want to open again, most prominently the .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG files.

Describe the solution you'd like

Describe alternatives you've considered
