From: Joe Perches Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 23:34:24 +0000 (-0700) Subject: get_maintainer.pl: allow "K:" pattern tests to match non-patch text X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~7613^2~1980 X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7764dcb53473e5665ab3cdc461ccfc510fce925e;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git get_maintainer.pl: allow "K:" pattern tests to match non-patch text Extend the usage of the K section in the MAINTAINERS file to support matching regular expressions to any arbitrary text that may precede the patch itself. For example, the commit message or mail headers generated by git-format-patch. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Original-patch-by: L. Alberto Giménez Acked-by: L.
