Allow for MAINTAINERS to become a directory and if it is, read all the files in the directory for maintained sections. Optionally look for all files named MAINTAINERS in directories excluding the .git directory by using --find-maintainer-files. This optional feature adds ~.3 seconds of CPU on an Intel i5-6200 with an SSD. Miscellanea: - Create a read_maintainer_file subroutine from the existing code - Test only the existence of MAINTAINERS, not whether it's a file Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
