patman: README documentation nits (unit test)

2013-07-15T21:06:09Z

adjust instructions for the invocation of Patman's self test: the -t flag appears to have a different meaning now, refer to the --test option for the builtin unit test; adjust a directory location and make sure to run the file which resides in the source directory Signed-off-by: Gerhard Sittig Acked-by: Simon Glass

buildman: Produce a sensible error message when branch is missing

2013-05-14T19:37:58Z

Rather than a backtrace, produce a nice error message when an invalid branch is provided to buildman. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: Do not hardcode python path

2013-05-09T21:27:41Z

Patman requires python 2.7.4 to run but it doesn't need to be placed in /usr/bin/python. Use env to ensure that the interpreter used is the first one on environment's $PATH on system with several versions of Python installed. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek Reviewed-by: Tom Rini Acked-by: Simon Glass

buildman: Allow conflicting tags to avoid spurious errors

2013-05-09T21:27:38Z

Conflicting tags can prevent buildman from building two series which exist one after the other in a branch. There is no reason not to allow this sort of workflow with buildman, so ignore conflicting tags in buildman.

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
