For instance, finding the maintainer for drivers/scsi/wd7000.c would first find "SCSI SUBSYSTEM", then "WD7000 SCSI SUBSYSTEM", then "THE REST". before patch: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -f drivers/scsi/wd7000.c James E.J. Bottomley <James.Bottomley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Miroslav Zagorac <zaga@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This patch does a length based directory match depth check by counting the number of "/" characters in the pattern and adding 1 more if the pattern is not a directory, then selecting the matched pattern sections by greatest depth. This changes the example output order of MAINTAINERS to whatever is selected in "WD7000 SUBSYSTEM", then "SCSI SYSTEM", then "THE REST". after patch: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -f drivers/scsi/wd7000.c Miroslav Zagorac <zaga@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> James E.J.
