Tentative suport for sending exploded series
I've been working on a way to automatically convert pull requests into series, complete with mailing them out to arbitrary destinations. This would allow folks to send a pull request to a dedicated list and have it automatically converted into a well-formed series. This is a tentative implementation that relies on git-send-email to do most of the heavy lifting. I have misgivings about using git-send-email for this purpose, but it does reduce the amount of duplicated code we would have otherwise had to write, and allows us to hook into things like tocmd/cccmd, etc. For example, adding the following to your .git/config: [sendemail "autopr"] smtpserver = [your.server.here] smtpserverport = 587 smtpencryption = tls smtpuser = [your-user] smtppass = [your-pass] transferEncoding = 8bit suppressFrom = yes confirm = never validate = no tocmd = "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/scripts/get_maintainer.pl --norolestats --nol" cccmd = "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/scripts/get_maintainer.pl --norolestats --nom" This would allow doing the following: b4 pr -e -f "AutoPR Exploder <autopr@yourdomain.here>" -s autopr [--dry-run] The pull request will be exploded into a patch series and sent to all the proper destinations as returned by get_maintainer.pl. We construct the message headers in a way that allow regular code review and "b4 am" usage after the auto-exploded series is sent out. If testing goes well, we'll implement this as a kernel.org service and then hook a similar implementation via Gitlab/Github. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Ryabitsev <konstantin@linuxfoundation.org>
