From: Antonio Nino Diaz <antonio.ninodiaz@xxxxxxx> Subject: get_maintainer: allow usage outside of kernel tree Add option '--no-tree' to get_maintainer.pl script to allow using this script in projects that aren't the Linux kernel if they use the same format for their MAINTAINERS file. This command is also available in checkpatch.pl, for example.
