I'm trying to figure it out how to automatically get the correct subsystem string for putting on the first line of the commit message / subject of the patch message. For example:
Subject: [PATCH 001/142] arch/x86: Replace memcpy with struct assignment ^^^^^^^^^^ arch/x86 is only the first two levels of directories from Kernel source. This may not be smart enough...
You have to do it manually. Here are the relevant lines from my patch script.
Manually? Sure there must be some way of auto do it.
There really isn't an automatic way. For example [media] and [SCSI] are non-standard.
I look at it as a good thing that people have to do it manually. It hopefully makes them slow down a bit.
Agreed. Slow down, less maintainers head. Thanks, Ezequiel.
