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.

When run with the --dry-run argument patman prints out information
showing what it would do. This information currently doesn't line up
with what patman/git send-email really do. Some basic examples:
- If an email address is addressed via "Series-cc" and "Patch-cc" patman
shows that email address would be CC-ed two times.
- If an email address is addressed via "Series-to" and "Patch-cc" patman
shows that email address would be sent TO and CC-ed.
- If an email address is addressed from a combination of tag aliases,
get_maintainer.pl output, "Series-cc", "Patch-cc", etc patman shows
that the email address would be CC-ed multiple times.
Patman currently does try to send duplicate emails like the --dry-run
output shows, but "git send-email" intelligently removes duplicate
addresses so this patch shouldn't change the non-dry-run functionality.
Change patman's output and email addressing to line up with the
"git send-email" logic. This trims down patman's dry-run output and

If an integer is given to the argument, Python exits with the return

That means,
print >> sys.stderr, "Blah Blah"
sys.exit(1)

It seems that 'undefined' is created by git and is persistent after it is

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.

The git config parameter log.decorate is quite useful when working with git.
Patman, however can not handle the decorated output when parsing the commit.
To prevent this use the '--no-decorate' switch for git-log.

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.

Especially with the Linux kernel, it takes a long time (a minute or more)
to test-apply the patches, so patman becomes significantly less useful.
The only real problem that is found with this apply step is trailing spaces.
Provide a -a option to skip this step, for those working with clean patches.

Patman's regular expression for detecting the start of a
commit in a git log was a little simplistic and could be
confused if the git log itself had the word "commit" as
the start of a line (as this commit does). Make patman
a little more robust.

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.

checkpatch has a new type of warning, a 'CHECK'. At present patman fails
with these, which makes it less than useful.
Add support for checks, making it backwards compatible with the old
checkpatch.

fix erroneous "internal error" if multiple patches have warnings and

The cover letter is sent to everyone who is on the Cc list for any of

This adds a new library on top of subprocess which permits access to
the subprocess output as it is being generated. We can therefore
give the illusion that a process is running independently, but still
monitor its output so that we know what is going on.
It is possible to display output on a terminal as it is generated

To make it usable in git trees not providing a patch checker
implementation, add a command line option, allowing to suppress patch

Also, do not raise an exception if checkpatch.pl is not found - just

nonzero status.

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.

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.

For Linux the best way to figure out where to send a patch is with the

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.
