patman: RunPipe() should not pipe stdout/stderr unless asked

2014-09-09T22:38:24+00:00

RunPipe() currently pipes the output of stdout and stderr to a pty, but
this is not the intended behaviour. Fix it.

patman: Fix detection of git version

2014-09-05T19:40:43+00:00

A missing 'global' declaration means that this feature does not currently
work. Fix it.

patman: Use --no-pager' to stop git from forking a pager

2014-09-05T19:40:42+00:00

In a headless environment the pager can apparently hang. We don't want a
pager anyway so let's request that none be used.

patman: Remove the -a option

2014-09-05T19:40:42+00:00

It seems that this is no longer needed, since checkpatch.pl will catch
whitespace problems in patches. Also the option is not widely used, so
it seems safe to just remove it.

patman: Correct unit tests to run correctly

2014-09-05T19:40:41+00:00

It seems that doctest behaves differently now, and some of the unit tests
do not run. Adjust the tests to work correctly.

patman: Support the 'reverse' option for 'git log'

2014-08-28T14:56:19+00:00

This option is currently not supported, but needs to be, for buildman to
operate as expected.

patman: Only use git's --no-decorate when available

2014-08-13T14:34:16+00:00

Older versions of git (e.g. Ubuntu 10.04) do not support this flag. By
default they do not decorate. So only enable this flag when supported.

patman: Move the 'git log' command into a function

2014-08-13T14:34:16+00:00

Move the code that builds a 'git log' command into a function so we can more
easily adjust it.

patman: make "No recipient" checking more tolerant

2014-07-28T03:57:24+00:00

If Series-to tag is missing, Patman exits with a message
"No recipient".

This is just annoying for those who had already added
sendemail.to configuration.

I guess many developers have

  [sendemail]
          to = u-boot@lists.denx.de

in their .git/config because the 'To: u-boot@lists.denx.de' field
should always be added when sending patches.

That seems more reasonable rather than adding
'Series-to: u-boot@lists.denx.de' to every patch series.

Patman should exit only when both Series-to tag and sendemail.to
configuration are mising.

patman: Only apply patches when we know the original HEAD

2014-07-07T23:22:03+00:00

When patman applies the patches it checks out a new branch, uses 'git am'
to apply the patches one by one, and then tries to go back to the old
branch. If you try this when the branch is 'undefined', this doesn't work
as patman cannot restore the correct branch after applying the patches.
It seems that 'undefined' is created by git and is persistent after it is
created, so that you can end up on quite an old branch.

Add a check for the 'undefined' branch to avoid this.
