[PATCH] get_maintainer: don't remind about no git repo when --nogit is used

From: Randy Dunlap
Date: Sat Jan 01 2022 - 22:28:12 EST


When --nogit is used with scripts/get_maintainer.pl, the script
spews 4 lines of unnecessary information (noise). Do not print those
lines when --nogit is specified.

This change removes the printing of these 4 lines:

./scripts/get_maintainer.pl: No supported VCS found. Add --nogit to options?
Using a git repository produces better results.
Try Linus Torvalds' latest git repository using:
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
