Detect unexpected 'END' line when a section is not detected.
This patch detect issue when tag name for section start is misspelled,
for example 'Commit-note:' for 'Commit-notes:'
Commit-note:
....
END
Then 'Commit-note:' is removed silently by re_remove = "Commit-\w*:"
but 'END' is kept in commit message.

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.

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a reasonable chance that they are either the same commit or a newer
version of the same commit.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.

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.

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.
