Subject: Failing of the script get_maintainer.pl

Hi,

The script get_maintainer.pl fails with the following message/warning:

Unrecognized character \xA0; marked by <-- HERE after <-- HERE near column 1 at scripts/get_maintainer.pl line 277.

This seems to be because of the commit b67071653d3fc9f9b73aab3e7978f060728bf392.

Any idea about the solution(s)?

Thank you.

Unfortunately, Evolution is a horribly broken email client
for sending patches.

It's been fixed at least in Andrew Morton's mm, and it
should be in -next soonish.

You could do a sed until then:

$ sed -i -e "s/\xA0/ /g" scripts/get_maintainer.pl
