scripts/get_maintainer.pl: add default --git-fallback, remove default --git
Adding commit signers when there is a listed MAINTAINER for a file can make the output list longer than necessary. Change the --git default from on to off. Add a new --git-fallback option (default on) used to add commit signers only when there is no MAINTAINER for a file. git history is used when --git-fallback is enabled and the pattern directory depth is not the same as the file directory depth. For instance: X86 ARCHITECTURE (32-BIT AND 64-BIT) M: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> M: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> M: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com> M: x86@kernel.org T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-x86.git S: Maintained F: Documentation/x86/ F: arch/x86/ If using "./scripts/get_maintainer -f arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.c", the pattern for "arch/x86/" does not match the directory depth of "arch/x86/lib" so the MAINTAINERS entries and git history is used to produce: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f --rolestats arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.c Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> (maintainer:X86 ARCHITECTURE...) Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> (maintainer:X86 ARCHITECTURE...) "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com> (maintainer:X86 ARCHITECTURE...,commit_signer:1/1=100%) x86@kernel.org (maintainer:X86 ARCHITECTURE...) Luca Barbieri <luca@luca-barbieri.com> (commit_signer:1/1=100%) linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list) Luca Barbieri is added because he signed the only commit to arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.c during the last year and he meets the other default qualifications. --git-min-percent (default:10) --git-min-signatures (default:1) If current users of ./scripts/get_maintainers.pl have scripts that use --nogit that expect git history to be excluded, those scripts should be updated to include --nogit-fallback or a .get_maintainer.conf file should be created with --nogit-fallback.
