patman: Make print statements python 3.x safe

2016-10-09T15:30:32+00:00

In python 3.x, print must be used as a function call. Convert all print
statements to the function call style, importing from __future__ where
we print with no trailing newline or print to a file object.

patman: Adjust command.Output() to raise an error by default

2016-09-19T03:04:38+00:00

It is more useful to have this method raise an error when something goes
wrong. Make this the default and adjust the few callers that don't want to
use it this way.

buildman: Allow branch names which conflict with directories

2016-03-18T03:27:39+00:00

At present if you try to use buildman with the branch 'test' it will
complain that it is unsure whether you mean the branch or the directory.
This is a feature of the 'git log' command that buildman uses. Fix it
by resolving the ambiguity.

  [PATCH 2/10] Add Mr. Fusion driver
  (...)

Internally it will call git send-email with --thread option

Revert "patman: use -D option for git format-patch"

2015-09-09T13:48:03+00:00

This reverts commit 19b4a3369876f9215e2b861f211e8df1a75e26ca.

Since that commit, patman generates useless patches for file removal;
"git format -D" prints only the header but not the diff when deleting
files, and "git am" always refuses such patches.

The following is the quotation from "man git-format-patch":

  -D, --irreversible-delete
    Omit the preimage for deletes, i.e. print only the header but
    not the diff between the preimage and /dev/null. The resulting
    patch is not meant to be applied with patch nor git apply; this
    is solely for people who want to just concentrate on reviewing
    the text after the change. In addition, the output obviously
    lack enough information to apply such a patch in reverse, even
    manually, hence the name of the option.

patman: check git format.subjectprefix setting when generate patches prefix

2015-04-23T18:35:50+00:00

For the local project, we may specified format.subjectprefix setting.
Then the patch will be formated as [Project_prefix][PATCH].
But patman will not check this setting. It will remove the
format.subjectprefix.

So This patch will let patman check this setting and add it as a
project prefix.

patman: Make dry-run output match real functionality

2015-01-30T22:52:29+00:00

When run with the --dry-run argument patman prints out information
showing what it would do.  This information currently doesn't line up
with what patman/git send-email really do.  Some basic examples:
- If an email address is addressed via "Series-cc" and "Patch-cc" patman
  shows that email address would be CC-ed two times.
- If an email address is addressed via "Series-to" and "Patch-cc" patman
  shows that email address would be sent TO and CC-ed.
- If an email address is addressed from a combination of tag aliases,
  get_maintainer.pl output, "Series-cc", "Patch-cc", etc patman shows
  that the email address would be CC-ed multiple times.

Patman currently does try to send duplicate emails like the --dry-run
output shows, but "git send-email" intelligently removes duplicate
addresses so this patch shouldn't change the non-dry-run functionality.

Change patman's output and email addressing to line up with the
"git send-email" logic.  This trims down patman's dry-run output and
prevents confusion about what patman will do when emails are actually
sent.
