In some communities, it may be necessary to append something after PATCH
in the subject line. For example, the Linux networking subsystem
expects [1] patch subject prefixes like [RFC PATCH net-next 0/99]. This
adds support for such "postfix"s to patman. Although entirely cosmetic,
it is still nice to have.

It is tedious to add review tags into the local branch and errors can

tags obtained from patchwork.

Before sending out a new version of a series for review, it is important
to add any review tags (e.g. Reviewed-by, Acked-by) collected by
patchwork. Otherwise people waste time reviewing the same patch
repeatedly, become frustrated and stop reviewing your patches.
To help with this, add a new 'status' subcommand that checks patchwork
for review tags, showing those which are not present in the local branch.
This allows users to see what new review tags have been received and then
add them.
Sample output:
$ patman status

Add a new Series-links tag to tell patman how to find the series in
patchwork. Each item is the series ID optionally preceded by the series
version that the link refers to. An empty version indicates this is the
latest series.
For example:
Series-links: 209816 1:203302

This patch adds support to multi-line changes. That is, if one has a line
in a changelog like
- Do a thing but
it spans multiple lines
Using Series-process-log sort would sort as if those lines were unrelated.
With this patch, any change line starting with whitespace will be
considered part of the change before it.

By default patman generates a combined changelog for the cover letter. This
may not always be desirable.
Many patches may have the same changes. These can be coalesced with
"Series-process-log: uniq", but this is imperfect. Similar changes like
"Move foo to patch 7" will not be merged with the similar "Move foo to this
patch from patch 6".
Changes may not make sense outside of the patch they are written for. For
example, a change line of "Add check for bar" does not make sense outside
of the context in which bar might be checked for. Some changes like "New"
or "Lint" may be repeated many times throughout different change logs, but
carry no useful information in a summary.
Lastly, I like to summarize the broad strokes of the changes I have made in
the cover letter, while documenting all the details in the appropriate
patches. I think this makes it easier to get a good feel for what has
changed, without making it difficult to wade through every change in the
whole series.
This patch adds two new tags to add changelog entries which only appear in
the cover letter, or only appear in the commit. Changes documented with
"Commit-changes" will only appear in the commit, and will not appear in the
cover letter. Changes documented with "Cover-changes" will not appear in
any commit, and will only appear in the cover letter.

Patman outputs a line for every edition of the series in every patch,
regardless of whether any changes were made. This can result in many
redundant lines in patch changelogs, especially when a patch did not exist
before a certain revision. For example, the existing behaviour could result
in a changelog of
Changes in v7: None
Changes in v6: None
Changes in v5:
- Make a change
Changes in v4: None
Changes in v3:
- New
Changes in v2: None
With this patch applied and with --no-empty-changes, the same patch would
look like
(no changes since v5)
Changes in v5:
- Make a change
Changes in v3:
- New
This is entirely aesthetic, but I think it reduces clutter, especially for
patches added later on in a series.

Some mailing lists have size limits and when we add binary contents
to our patches it's easy to exceed the size limits.
Git supports a command line option "--no-binary" to generate patches
without any binary contents. Add an option in patman to handle this.
Note with this option patches cannot be applied properly, but they
are still useful for code review.

As per the centithread on ksummit-discuss [1], there are folks who
feel that if a Change-Id is present in a developer's local commit that
said Change-Id could be interesting to include in upstream posts.
Specifically if two commits are posted with the same Change-Id there's
a reasonable chance that they are either the same commit or a newer
version of the same commit. Specifically this is because that's how
gerrit has trained people to work.
There is much angst about Change-Id in upstream Linux, but one thing
that seems safe and non-controversial is to include the Change-Id as
part of the string of crud that makes up a Message-Id.
Let's give that a try.
In theory (if there is enough adoption) this could help a tool more
reliably find various versions of a commit. This actually might work
pretty well for U-Boot where (I believe) quite a number of developers
use patman, so there could be critical mass (assuming that enough of
these people also use a git hook that adds Change-Id to their
commits). I was able to find this git hook by searching for "gerrit
change id git hook" in my favorite search engine.
In theory one could imagine something like this could be integrated
into other tools, possibly even git-send-email. Getting it into
patman seems like a sane first step, though.
NOTE: this patch is being posted using a patman containing this patch,
so you should be able to see the Message-Id of this patch and see that
it contains my local Change-Id, which ends in 2b9 if you want to
check.

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

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.

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.

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.
