[PATCH V2 3/3] get_maintainer: prevent keywords from matching filenames

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Stephen Warren <swarren@xxxxxxxxxx>

This reverts most of eb90d08 "get_maintainer: allow keywords to match
filenames"; all except the parts that are required to implement the new
N: entry type.

The rationale is that it's better to have K: match just patch or file
content as it previously did, and N: match just filenames, rather than
have K: math all three cases. This gives more explicit control, and
removes the temptation to use K: for filenames, and then have those
keywords accidentally match unexpected patch or file content.
