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.

If we're sending a cover letter make sure to CC everyone that we're
CCing on each of the individual patches.

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.

ef0e9de82b patman: Support Series-name tag to name a series
Sometimes it is possible to forget the name of the branch you used to
generate an upstream series. To assist with this, add an optional
patman does not use this.

244e6f9705 patman: Use reverse order for changelog
Specially when many revisions are need for a patchset, the most
interesting information is about the last set of changes so we output
the changelog in reverse order to easy identification of most recent
change set.

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.

d5f81d8acd patman: Allow for changelog use in first version of a series
When a patchset had a RFC series, a v1 might have a changelog of
changes done since the RFC. The patch changes the range checked for
changelog and allow it to start for version 1.

73fe07a79a patman: don't mess with changelog
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.
