983a2749e2 patman: Add a -m option to avoid copying the maintainers
The get_maintainers script is a useful default, but sometimes is copies
too many people, or takes a long time to run.

Add an option to disable it and update the README.

f0b739f15f buildman: Allow conflicting tags to avoid spurious errors
Conflicting tags can prevent buildman from building two series which exist
one after the other in a branch. There is no reason not to allow this sort
of workflow with buildman, so ignore conflicting tags in buildman.

645b271a60 patman: Add Series-process-log tag to sort/uniq change logs
For some series with lots of changes it is annoying that duplicate change
log items are not caught. It is also helpful sometimes to sort the change
logs.

Add a Series-process-log tag to enable this, which can be placed in a
commit to control this.

The change to the Cc: line is to fix a checkpatch warning.

a1318f7cdc patman: Provide option to ignore bad aliases
Often it happens that patches include tags which don't have aliases. It
is annoying that patman fails in this case, and provides no option to
continue other than adding empty tags to the .patman file.

Correct this by adding a '-t' option to ignore tags that don't exist.
Print a warning instead.

Since running the tests is not a common operation, move this to --test
instead, to reserve -t for this new option.

fe2f8d9e2f patman: Add Cover-letter-cc tag to Cc cover letter to people
The cover letter is sent to everyone who is on the Cc list for any of
the patches in the series. Sometimes it is useful to send just the cover
letter to additional people, so that they are aware of the series, but
don't need to wade through all the individual patches.

Add a new Cover-letter-cc tag for this purpose.

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.

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.

43de0244c1 patman: Do not Cc addresses included in To list
In case an address is listed in the To list, those will be skipped on
Cc list or user might end with a duplicated message.

This fixes the case when a tag points to same address used as series
destination thus avoiding duplicated sending.

Don't try to sort and uniq changelog entries as this breaks
multiline entries. It will be better to add some real multi-line
support but for now just preserve the entries as is.

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.
