From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: get_maintainer: don't remind about no git repo when --nogit is used When --nogit is used with scripts/get_maintainer.pl, the script spews 4 lines of unnecessary information (noise). Do not print those lines when --nogit is specified. This change removes the printing of these 4 lines: ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl: No supported VCS found. Add --nogit to options? Using a git repository produces better results.
