The idea is fine by me. Here are a couple of things to consider: There are a few outstanding patches to get_maintainer so this doesn't apply to latest, but it's not problem to fix it up. What about using hg annotate for the git blame? hg annotate -c $file and hg annotate --template="{desc}\n" -r $rev Is there an hg annotate select line range capability? I'm not a user of hg. I did: hg clone http://www.kernel.org/hg/linux-2.6/ and hg annotate -c -l README and the output line numbering style isn't clear to me. Maybe it's better not to introduce more arguments. Would it be acceptable to use --git instead of --hg and just execute hg if .git wasn't available but .hg was? Basically just consider --git the equivalent of --vcs and execute whatever vcs system was supported? Or maybe just add --vcs instead of --hg so that the perforce/cvs/svn/darcs/VisualSourceSafe/etc users could be happy in the future too... What do you think? cheers, Joe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
