This reverts commit 19b4a33698.
Since that commit, patman generates useless patches for file removal;
"git format -D" prints only the header but not the diff when deleting

The following is the quotation from "man git-format-patch":
-D, --irreversible-delete
Omit the preimage for deletes, i.e. print only the header but
not the diff between the preimage and /dev/null. The resulting
patch is not meant to be applied with patch nor git apply; this
is solely for people who want to just concentrate on reviewing

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
prevents confusion about what patman will do when emails are actually
sent.

In Python, sys.exit() function can also take an object other
than an integer.
If an integer is given to the argument, Python exits with the return
code of it. If a non-integer argument is given, Python outputs it
to stderr and exits with the return code of 1.
That means,
print >> sys.stderr, "Blah Blah"
sys.exit(1)

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.

The Linux kernel stores checkpatch.pl in the scripts directory. Add
that to the search path to make things more automatic for kernel
development.

Several of the patman doctests assume that patman was run with:
./patman
Fix them so that they work even if patman is run with just "patman"
(because patman is in the path).

The patman test code was failing because some extra spaces got
stripped when it was applied. These spaces are critical to the test
code working.

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.

The BRANCH= tag can be used to indicate the destination branch for a
commit. Ignore this tag.
Also ignore the gerrit 'Commit-Ready:' tag.

Colored logs confuse patman when analyzing logs.
Add --no-color option in git log commands in case
the default config has color.

Sometimes we don't get a valid filename or line number from checkpatch.pl,
for example if the patch is in a bad format. Deal with this by using a
default value, rather than a stack trace.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We already got all changes from git log output and the comment
to the ProcessLine function clearly states that 'patch' mode
is not for scanning tags.

Changes may end in '---' line or Signoff line (generated by
git format-patch) in case of Series-changes: lines being
the last ones in commit message. So detect it properly.

patman shouts when it couldn't find a $(HOME)/.patman file.
Handle it in a sane way by creating a new one for the user.
It looks for a user.name and user.email in the global .gitconfig
file, waits for the user input if it can't find there. Update the
same in the README

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.
