Subject: scripts/get_maintainer.pl: add --git-blame
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.32-rc1~451
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f5492666a3b62344de9026a960c11888160362c9;p=pandora-kernel.git

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: add --git-blame

Julia Lawall suggested that get_maintainers.pl should have the
ability to include signatories of commits that are modified by
a particular patch.

Vegard Nossum did something similar once.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/29/449

The modified script looks the commits for all lines in the
patch, and includes the "-by:" signatories for those commits.
It uses the same git-min-percent, git-max-maintainers, and
git-min-signatures options.  git-since is ignored.

It can be used independently from the --git default, so
        ./scripts/get_maintainers.pl --nogit --git-blame <patch>
or
        ./scripts/get_maintainers.pl --nogit --git-blame -f <file>
is acceptable.

If used with -f <file>, all lines/commits for the file are
checked.

--git-blame can be slow if used with -f <file>
--git-blame does not work with -f <directory>
