("/tags", "aLocation"), # line 10517, "allocation"? ("/tags", "aLocation"), # line 10518, "allocation"? ("/tags", "aLocation"), # line 10521, "allocation"?

("/tests/qemucapabilitiestest.c", "programatic"), # line 216, "programmatic"? error: 16 spelling errors 'tags' is a file generated by 'ctags' and "/tests/virstoragetest.c.orig" is an artifact of an editor. Also since the script is lacking integration with meson and is also missing from documentation it's not applied to local builds, only on stuff that gets CI'd. Catching these early will hopefully prevent a few pointless CI runs just to fix typos.
