Prior to this patch, if I do (for example) ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/power/ds2782_battery.c It gives my old Bluewater email. With this change it gives my gmail account. Not sure if that is because it extracts the email from the source or from the git commit? Either way, the patch gets the correct behaviour for people who send patches using get_maintainer. ~Ryan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
