get_maintainer: quiet noisy implicit -f vcs_file_exists checking

2016-08-27T00:39:34Z

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

2016-08-10T17:42:00Z

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

2016-08-02T23:35:07Z

If a vcs is used, look to see if the vcs tracks the file specified and so the -f option becomes optional. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/7c86a8df0d48770c45778a43b6b3e4627b2a90ee.1469746395.git.joe@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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

2016-01-21T01:09:18Z

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

Reviewer output currently does not include the subsystem that matched. Add it. Miscellanea: o Add a get_subsystem_name routine to centralize this Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Tested-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski Cc: Lee Jones Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

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. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

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'

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

Though it appears that Perl's GetOptions will take either, the latter is not documented in the options listing. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

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. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

get_maintainer: fix perl 5.22/5.24 deprecated/incompatible "\C" use

2015-06-26T00:00:39Z

Perl 5.22 emits a deprecated message when "\C" is used in a regex. Perl 5.24 will disallow it altogether. Fix it by using [A-Z] instead of \C. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Reported-by: Valdis Kletnieks Tested-by: Valdis Kletnieks Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
