21caa558ca patman: encode CC list to UTF-8
This change encodes the CC list to UTF-8 to avoid failures on
maintainer-addresses that include non-ASCII characters (observed on
Debian 7.11 with Python 2.7.3).

Without this, I get the following failure:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "tools/patman/patman", line 159, in <module>

from Heiko's email address:

While with this change added this encodes to:

6db06f94e1 patman: Convert byte arrays to strings
os.read() returns a byte array in Python 3.5.2 and needs to be converted
into a string. Check if the returned value is an instance of bytes and
if it is decode it as a utf-8 string. If it is not a utf-8 encoded string
the decoding may fail with an exception.

Prior to this fix the comparisions check data == "" would fail when data
was b'' and would cause an infinite memory leaking loop. joins would
also fail with an exception below but due to the infinite loop it never
made it that far.

8aa41363eb patman: Format checkpatch messages for IDE throwback
It is convenient to be able to deal with checkpatch warnings in the same

To achieve this, adjust the format to match the C compiler, and output to

c9eac38a25 patman: Use items() to iterate over dictionaries
In python 3.x the iteritems() method has been removed from dictionaries,

using items() is a little less efficient since it involves copying data,

for simplicity.

8d3595a42b Revert "patman: use -D option for git format-patch"
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
files, and "git am" always refuses such patches.

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
    the text after the change. In addition, the output obviously
    lack enough information to apply such a patch in reverse, even
    manually, hence the name of the option.

2181830f11 patman: Make dry-run output match real functionality
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.

31e2141d5a tools, scripts: refactor error-out statements of Python scripts
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)

is equivalent to

    sys.exit("Blah Blah")

The latter is a useful shorthand.

Note:
Some error messages in Buildman and Patman were output to stdout.
But they should go to stderr.  They are also fixed by this commit.
This is a nice side effect.

ee860c60d2 patman: make "No recipient" checking more tolerant
If Series-to tag is missing, Patman exits with a message
"No recipient".

This is just annoying for those who had already added
sendemail.to configuration.

I guess many developers have

  [sendemail]
          to = u-boot@lists.denx.de

in their .git/config because the 'To: u-boot@lists.denx.de' field
should always be added when sending patches.

That seems more reasonable rather than adding
'Series-to: u-boot@lists.denx.de' to every patch series.

Patman should exit only when both Series-to tag and sendemail.to
configuration are mising.

4251978afc patman: Only apply patches when we know the original HEAD
When patman applies the patches it checks out a new branch, uses 'git am'
to apply the patches one by one, and then tries to go back to the old
branch. If you try this when the branch is 'undefined', this doesn't work
as patman cannot restore the correct branch after applying the patches.
It seems that 'undefined' is created by git and is persistent after it is
created, so that you can end up on quite an old branch.

Add a check for the 'undefined' branch to avoid this.

Support is added in a generic way such that any setting can be updated

option parser.  At the moment options that would make sense to put in
settings are "ignore_errors", "process_tags", and "verbose".  You

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.

c7379149ff patman: don't mess with signoffs
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.

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.

a8840cb2f0 patman: don't pick changes while processing patches
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.

05e5b73506 patman: fix end of changes detection
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.

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.
