It's rather unnecessary for files to contain their path/filename in source code comments.
Here's a trivial little script that can remove embedded filenames in c90 style comments from files.
This requires git. [] Running it on today's -next gives:
$ perl remove_embedded_filenames.pl $ git diff --shortstat 2310 files changed, 354 insertions(+), 4239 deletions(-)
It's also possible to give any filename or path as an argument to the script
For instance:
$ perl remove_embedded_filenames.pl drivers/net
The below was an attachment, it's odd that your mailer quoted it.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w [] if ($modified && !$quiet) { print <<EOT; Warning: these changes may not be correct.
These changes should be carefully reviewed manually and not combined with any functional changes.
Compile, build and test your changes.
You should understand and be responsible for all object changes.
Make sure you read Documentation/SubmittingPatches before sending any changes to reviewers, maintainers or mailing lists. EOT }
Suggestion.... please take those damn EOT lines out of it
No. What's your actual problem with it? It's a tool and it may not be perfect. It merely emits a single message if it removes filenames from files.
