 A list of Vim regular expressions that is used to filter recently used files.
 See |pattern.txt| for what patterns can be used.
 
+The following patterns are filtered by default:
+
+      'runtime/doc/.*\.txt$'
+      'bundle/.*/doc/.*\.txt$'
+      'plugged/.*/doc/.*\.txt$'
+      '/.git/'
+      'fugitiveblame$'
+      escape(fnamemodify(resolve($VIMRUNTIME), ':p'), '\') .'doc/.*\.txt$'
+
 NOTE: Due to the nature of patterns, you can't just use "~/mysecret" but have
 to use "$HOME .'/mysecret.txt'". The former would do something entirely
-different: |/\~|. When using backslashes as path separators, escape them.
-Otherwise using "C:\this\vim\path\is\problematic" would not match what you
-expect, since |/\v| is a pattern, too.
