That script just generates cc email addresses for pre-formatted commit patches. It'd have to be a script that modifies the git commit subject line to the taste of the subsystem maintainer. Right now, I use a commit script that's something like: #!/bin/bash echo "$1: Remove unnecessary semicolons" > msg echo >> msg #cat >> msg <<EOF #Unnecessary semicolons should not exist. #EOF git commit -s -F msg $1 There could be a modification to $1 (path) or some such. Maybe a script like ./scripts/convert_commit_subject_to_subsystem_maintainer_taste or something. Care to write one in sh/bash/perl/python/c/ocaml/c#? As far as I know, the only subsystem pedants^H^H^H^H^Hople that care much about the commit subject style are arch/x86 and sound. I can understand the desire of these subsystem maintainers to have a consistent style. I think though that requiring a subject header style without providing more than a general guideline is a but much. I'd use any other automated tool you want to provide. 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/
