In my .gitconfig I have this:
[format]
useAutoBase = true
thread = shallow
As a consequence, when I run generate-patches-from-git-repo.sh I see
two problems, first, I see lots of errors like this:
fatal: failed to get upstream, if you want to record base commit automatically,
please use git branch --set-upstream-to to track a remote branch.
Or you could specify base commit by --base=<base-commit-id> manually
These are caused by the use of the useAutoBase option.
If I disable useAutoBase, and regenerate the patches, I see that every
patch changes, with the addition of a line like this:
Message-Id: <some message id string here...>
This is caused by the use of the thread option.
Rather than forcing me to not have these settings in my .gitconfig, I
propose that we add --no-base and --no-thread to our invocation of
'git format-patch' in generate-patches-from-git-repo.sh, this fixes
both of the above problems.
With these new options the 'git format-patch' line was getting pretty
long, so I've wrapped it to make it more readable.
This commit improves the script used to generate the patches from the
upstream git repo. Basically, it removes even more cruft that was
being added by 'git format-patch', making the output really simple and
deterministic (determinism which was a problem before).
Aside from the metadata, nothing else has been changed and therefore
it doesn't justify a new Fedora GDB release.
- chmod +x on the generate-*.sh script.s
- Remove references to gdb-8.0.1 from 'sources' and '.gitignore'.
- Regenerate first line of the patches (remove commit hash).
- Fix empty Source line.
