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: Don't run patman when it is imported as a module

2015-07-31T13:31:12+00:00

Commit 488d19c (patman: add distutils based installer) has the side effect
of making patman run twice with each invocation. Fix this by checking for
'main program' invocation in patman.py. This is good practice in any case.

patman: add distutils based installer

2015-07-28T16:36:25+00:00

To make it easier to use patman on other projects add a distutils style
installer. Now patman can be installed with

  cd u-boot/tools/patman && python setup.py install

There are also the usual distutils options for creating source/binary
distributions of patman.

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: 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.
