patman: fix gitutil for decorations

2013-04-18T20:16:32Z

The git config parameter log.decorate is quite useful when working with git. Patman, however can not handle the decorated output when parsing the commit. To prevent this use the '--no-decorate' switch for git-log. Signed-off-by: Andreas Bießmann Acked-by: Simon Glass

patman: Add Series-process-log tag to sort/uniq change logs

2013-04-08T22:21:22Z

For some series with lots of changes it is annoying that duplicate change log items are not caught. It is also helpful sometimes to sort the change logs. Add a Series-process-log tag to enable this, which can be placed in a commit to control this. The change to the Cc: line is to fix a checkpatch warning.

patman: Add -a option to refrain from test-applying the patches

2013-04-08T22:21:22Z

Especially with the Linux kernel, it takes a long time (a minute or more) to test-apply the patches, so patman becomes significantly less useful. The only real problem that is found with this apply step is trailing spaces. Provide a -a option to skip this step, for those working with clean patches.

patman: Don't barf if the word 'commit' starts a line

2013-04-08T22:21:20Z

Patman's regular expression for detecting the start of a commit in a git log was a little simplistic and could be confused if the git log itself had the word "commit" as the start of a line (as this commit does). Make patman a little more robust. Signed-off-by: Doug Anderson Acked-by: Simon Glass

patman: Provide option to ignore bad aliases

2013-04-08T22:09:03Z

Often it happens that patches include tags which don't have aliases. It is annoying that patman fails in this case, and provides no option to continue other than adding empty tags to the .patman file. Correct this by adding a '-t' option to ignore tags that don't exist. Print a warning instead. Since running the tests is not a common operation, move this to --test instead, to reserve -t for this new option. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: Doug Anderson

patman: Ignore all Gerrit Commit-* tags

2013-04-04T21:04:35Z

These tags are used by Gerrit, so let's ignore all of them. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: Doug Anderson

patman: Minor help message/README fixes

2013-04-04T21:04:35Z

A few of the help messages are not quite right, and there is a typo in the README. Fix these. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: Doug Anderson

patman: Fix the comment in CheckTags to mention multiple tags

2013-04-04T21:04:35Z

This comment is less than helpful. Since multiple tags are supported, add an example of how multiple tags work. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: Doug Anderson

patman: Don't allow spaces in tags

2013-04-04T21:04:35Z

At present something like: Revert "arm: Add cache operations" will try to use Revert "arm as a tag. Clearly this is wrong, so fix it. If the revert is intended to be tagged, then the tag can come before the revert, perhaps. Alternatively the 'Cc' tag can be used in the commit messages.

patman: Fix up checkpatch parsing to deal with 'CHECK' lines

2013-04-04T21:04:34Z

checkpatch has a new type of warning, a 'CHECK'. At present patman fails with these, which makes it less than useful. Add support for checks, making it backwards compatible with the old checkpatch. At the same time, clean up formatting of the CheckPatches() output, fix erroneous "internal error" if multiple patches have warnings and be more robust to new types of problems.
