scripts/get_maintainer.pl: add --pattern-depth
--pattern-depth is used to control how many levels of directory traversal should be performed to find maintainers. default is 0 (all directory levels). For instance: MAINTAINERS currently has multiple M: and F: entries that match net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_app.c IPVS M: Wensong Zhang <[email protected]> M: Simon Horman <[email protected]> M: Julian Anastasov <[email protected]> [...] F: net/netfilter/ipvs/ NETFILTER/IPTABLES/IPCHAINS [...] M: Patrick McHardy <[email protected]> [...] F: net/netfilter/ NETWORKING [GENERAL] M: "David S. Miller" <[email protected]> [...] F: net/ THE REST M: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]> [...] F: */ Using this command will return all of those maintainers: (except Linus unless --git-chief-maintainers is specified) $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -nol \ -f net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_app.c Julian Anastasov <[email protected]> Simon Horman <[email protected]> Wensong Zhang <[email protected]> Patrick McHardy <[email protected]> David S.
