[PATCH] get_maintainer.pl: Find maintainers for removed files
From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Fri Dec 28 2012 - 14:27:52 EST
For removed files, get_maintainer.pl doesn't find any maintainers (besides
the default linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx), as it only looks at the "+++"
lines, which are "/dev/null" for removals.
Fix this by extending the parsing to the "---" lines.
E.g. for the two line test patch below the real score maintainers will now
be found:
--- a/arch/score/include/asm/dma-mapping.h
+++ /dev/null
