Grrrr - Repost of V5 with an SoB. There has to be a better way of automating patch updates ;)
`git commit --amend` ? s-o-b tag should be in the changelog and thus not get lost during the normal run of things ... -mike
I have a script(TM) which pulls the versions, cover letter, to- and cc- addresses from the commits. It also runs them through checkpatch.pl and does its own checks. It makes adding a new version easier because you just have to update 'Series-version: 2' to 'Series-version: 3' for example. It also collects the change lists from the various commits and puts them in the cover letter and emails them out. It's not really U-Boot specific, but it does take a monkey work out of sending out U-Boot patches.
Perhaps it would help?
Regards, Simon
