bbd01435b9 patman: Use ANSI colours only when outputting to a terminal
It is easy to detect whether or not the process is connected to a terminal,
or piped to a file. Disable ANSI colours automatically when output is
not to a terminal.

99adf6eda7 patman: Allow use outside of u-boot tree
To make it usable in git trees not providing a patch checker
implementation, add a command line option, allowing to suppress patch
check. While we are at it, sort debug options alphabetically.

Also, do not raise an exception if checkpatch.pl is not found - just
print an error message suggesting to use the new option, and return
nonzero status.

   . unit test passes:
    $ ./patman  -t
    <unittest.result.TestResult run=7 errors=0 failures=0>
   . successfully used patman in the autotest tree to generate a patch
     email (with --no-check option)
   . successfully used patman in the u-boot tree to generate a patch
     email
   . `patman --help' now shows command line options ordered
     alphabetically

a1dcee84c9 patman: Add the concept of multiple projects
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.

8568baed3b patman: Add support for settings in .patman
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.

21a19d70e2 patman: Add a call to get_maintainer.pl if it exists
For Linux the best way to figure out where to send a patch is with the
"get_maintainer.pl" script.  Add support for calling it from patman.
Support is added unconditionally for "scripts/get_maintainer.pl" in
case it is helpful for any other projects.

d94566a111 patman: Cache the CC list from MakeCcFile() for use in ShowActions()
Currently we go through and generate the CC list for patches twice.
This gets slow when (in a future CL) we add a call to
get_maintainer.pl on Linux.  Instead of doing things twice, just cache
the CC list when it is first generated.

a970048e75 patman: Allow tests to run even if patman is in the path

Fix them so that they work even if patman is run with just "patman"

27e976004e patman: Issue empty change logs for unchanged patches
Often a particular patch may change only for some versions of a series.
For versions where there is no change, issue a change log indicating
that (for example 'Changes in v4: None').

For such lines, don't add a blank line afterwards, to conserve space.
Use list.insert() instead of list = [item] + list.

c7379149ff patman: don't mess with signoffs
Currently patman assumes that there should be only one Signoff line
and this is obviously incorrect: we often have to work with patches
containing other people signoffs. Moreover, it's really desirable
to preserve the comments between signoffs.

So until some sophisticated signoff processing will be developed I
suggest just don't mess with signoffs at all and treat them like
plain text lines. The only drawback I've found so far is the case
where you have a patch with someones else signoff but not yours and
also have to patman tags under signoff line. In this case you will
get extra empty line between signoffs.

0d24de9d55 Add 'patman' patch generation, checking and submission script
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.
