Subject: scripts/get_maintainer.pl: add sections in pattern match depth order
From: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Before this change, matched sections were added in the order
of appearance in the normally alphabetic section order of
the MAINTAINERS file.
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
get_maintainer.pl now selects matched sections by longest pattern match.
Longest is the number of "/"s and any specific file pattern.
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
