get_maintainer: look for arbitrary letter prefixes in sections

2016-12-13T02:55:09+00:00

Jani Nikula proposes patches to add a few new letter prefixes for "B:"
bug reporting and "C:" maintainer chatting to the various sections of
MAINTAINERS.

Add a generic mechanism to get_maintainer.pl to find sections that have
any combination of "[A-Z]" letter prefix types in a section.

get_maintainer: quiet noisy implicit -f vcs_file_exists checking

2016-08-27T00:39:34+00:00

Checking command line filenames that are outside the git tree can emit a
noisy and confusing message.

Quiet that message by redirecting stderr.
Verify that the command was executed successfully.

get_maintainer: Don't check if STDIN exists in a VCS repository

2016-08-10T17:42:00+00:00

If get_maintainer is not given any filename arguments on the command line,
the standard input is read for a patch.

But checking if a VCS has a file named &STDIN is not a good idea and fails.

Verify the nominal input file is not &STDIN before checking the VCS.

get_maintainer.pl: reduce need for command-line option -f

2016-08-02T23:35:07+00:00

If a vcs is used, look to see if the vcs tracks the file specified and
so the -f option becomes optional.

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: handle file names beginning with ./

2016-01-21T01:09:18+00:00

The problem is that get_maintainer.pl doesn't work if you have a ./
prefix on the filename.  For example, if you type:

  ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f ./drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c

then the current code only includes LKML and people from the git log, it
doesn't include Greg or the linux-usb list.

get_maintainer: add subsystem to reviewer output

2015-11-07T01:50:42+00:00

Reviewer output currently does not include the subsystem
that matched.  Add it.

get_maintainer: --r (list reviewer) is on by default

2015-11-07T01:50:42+00:00

We don't consistenly document the default value next to the option
listing, but we do have a list of defaults here, so let's keep it up to
date.

get_maintainer: add --no-foo options to --help

2015-11-07T01:50:42+00:00

Many flag options are boolean and support both a positive and a negative
invocation from the command line.  Some of these are even mentioned by
example (e.g., --nogit is mentioned as a default option), but they aren't
explicitly mentioned in the list of options.  It happens that some of
these are pretty important, as they are default-on, and to turn them off,
you have to know about the --no-foo version.

Rather than clutter the whole help text with bracketed '--[no]foo', let's
just mention the general rule, a la 'man gcc'.

get_maintainer: it's '--pattern-depth', not '-pattern-depth'

Though it appears that Perl's GetOptions will take either, the latter is
not documented in the options listing.

get_maintainer: add missing documentation for --git-blame-signatures

2015-11-07T01:50:42+00:00

I really haven't used this option much myself, so feel free to improve on
the documentation for it.  I just noticed it while inspecting this script
for undocumented features.
