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.

buildman: patman: Fix -H when installed as a symlink

2016-03-14T21:34:50+00:00

It is convenient to install symlinks to buildman and patman in the search
patch, such as /usr/local/bin. But when this is done, the -H option fails to
work because it looks in the directory containing the symlink instead of its
target. Fix this.

patman: fix series-notes handling for buildman

2016-02-25T04:06:19+00:00

A patman series with a 'Series-notes' section causes
buildman to crash with:

    self.series.notes += self.section
    TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'list' objects

Fix by initializing series.notes as a one-element array
rather than a scalar.

  [PATCH 1/10] Add Flux Capacitor driver
  [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: 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.
