patman: Read in the git-mailrc alias file

2015-02-15T21:34:06+00:00

We should read this file to obtain a set of aliases. This reduces the need
to create them in the ~/.patman file.

This feature did exist in some version of patman, and is mentioned in the
help but it did not find its way upstream.

patman: Add the concept of multiple projects

2013-01-31T23:23:40+00:00

There are cases that we want to support different settings (or maybe
even different aliases) for different projects.  Add support for this
by:
* Adding detection for two big projects: U-Boot and Linux.
* Adding default settings for Linux (U-Boot is already good with the
  standard patman defaults).
* Extend the new "settings" feature in .patman to specify per-project
  settings.

patman: Add support for settings in .patman

2013-01-31T23:23:40+00:00

This patch adds support for a [settings] section in the .patman file.
In this section you can add settings that will affect the default
values for command-line options.

Support is added in a generic way such that any setting can be updated
by just referring to the "dest" of the option that is passed to the
option parser.  At the moment options that would make sense to put in
settings are "ignore_errors", "process_tags", and "verbose".  You
could override them like:

 [settings]
 ignore_errors: True
 process_tags: False
 verbose: True

The settings functionality is also used in a future change which adds
support for per-project settings.

patman: Handle creation of patman config file

2012-06-19T20:51:55+00:00

patman shouts when it couldn't find a $(HOME)/.patman file.
Handle it in a sane way by creating a new one for the user.
It looks for a user.name and user.email in the global .gitconfig
file, waits for the user input if it can't find there. Update the
same in the README

patman: Change the location of patman config file

2012-06-19T20:51:36+00:00

Move the config file from ~/.config/patman to ~/.patman as it is
more appropriate to have it there. Update the same in the README.

Add 'patman' patch generation, checking and submission script

2012-04-21T15:26:17+00:00

What is this?

=============

This tool is a Python script which:
- Creates patch directly from your branch
- Cleans them up by removing unwanted tags
- Inserts a cover letter with change lists
- Runs the patches through checkpatch.pl and its own checks
- Optionally emails them out to selected people

It is intended to automate patch creation and make it a less
error-prone process. It is useful for U-Boot and Linux work so far,
since it uses the checkpatch.pl script.

It is configured almost entirely by tags it finds in your commits.
This means that you can work on a number of different branches at
once, and keep the settings with each branch rather than having to
git format-patch, git send-email, etc. with the correct parameters
each time. So for example if you put:

in one of your commits, the series will be sent there.

See the README file for full details.
