This script may break people's "scripts on top of get_maintainer" if they are using -f... but that's the point.Ok, I'll go fix up my local scripts,Which one? I spotted this in your repo but it already seems to use patches: https://github.com/gregkh/gregkh-linux/blob/master/scripts/generate_cc_list
Oh yeah, it does work on patches. Nevermind, I think I just use the -f version manually when trying to figure out who to blame for a bug report in a specific file :)
How do you use this, BTW?
I do: - git format-patch to generate the patch series. - run the generate_cc_list script which creates XXXX.info files (the XXXX being the patch number) that contain the people/lists to cc: on the patch - git rebase -i on the patch series and edit the changelog description and paste in the XXXX.info file for that specific patch. Yeah, it's a lot of manual steps, I should use b4 for it, one of these days... thanks, greg k-h
