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.

659c89da8e patman: Use Patch-cc: instead of Cc:
Add a new Patch-cc: tag which performs the service now provided by
the Cc: tag. The Cc: tag is interpreted by git send-email but
ignored by patman.

So now:

  Cc: patman does nothing. (git send-email can cc patches)
  Patch-cc: patman Cc's patch and removes this tag from the patch

5c8fdd91dc patman: add Commit-notes tag and section
Sometimes a commit should have notes enclosed with it rather
than withing the cover letter -- possibly even because there
is no cover letter. Add a 'Commit-notes' tag, similar to the
'Series-notes' one; lines between this tag and the next END
line are inserted in the patch right after the '---' commit
delimiter.

c8605bb4d8 patman: README documentation nits (unit test)
adjust instructions for the invocation of Patman's self test: the -t
flag appears to have a different meaning now, refer to the --test option
for the builtin unit test; adjust a directory location and make sure to
run the file which resides in the source directory

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.

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.

28b3594eb9 patman: Make "Reviewed-by" an important tag
Although "Reviewed-by:" is a tag that gerrit adds, it's also a tag
used by upstream.  Stripping it is undesirable.  In fact, we should
treat it as important.

a1dcee84c9 patman: Add the concept of multiple projects
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.

8568baed3b patman: Add support for settings in .patman
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.

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.

87d65558ef patman: Handle creation of patman config file
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

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.
