Fix this by extending the parsing to the "---" lines. E.g. for the two line test patch below the real score maintainers will now be found: --- a/arch/score/include/asm/dma-mapping.h +++ /dev/null Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- scripts/get_maintainer.pl | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -puN scripts/get_maintainer.pl~get_maintainerpl-find-maintainers-for-removed-files scripts/get_maintainer.pl --- a/scripts/get_maintainer.pl~get_maintainerpl-find-maintainers-for-removed-files +++ a/scripts/get_maintainer.pl @@ -433,7 +433,7 @@ foreach my $file (@ARGV) { while (<$patch>) { my $patch_line = $_; - if (m/^\+\+\+\s+(\S+)/) { + if (m/^\+\+\+\s+(\S+)/ or m/^---\s+(\S+)/) { my $filename = $1; $filename =~ s@^[^/]*/@@; $filename =~ s@\n@@; _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx are linux-next.patch cris-use-int-for-ssize_t-to-match-size_t.patch scripts-pnmtologo-fix-for-plain-pbm-checkpatch-fixes.patch get_maintainerpl-find-maintainers-for-removed-files.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
