From 140ddf18a6ec9f3e956696816af6640bbfd5283d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Robinson Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2018 14:24:56 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] get_maintainers.pl: Avoid THE_REST when files are added or removed When files are added or removed /dev/null is used as a place holder name in the patch for the absent file. Don't try and find a MAINTAINER for this place holder, it only ever flags and then spams THE REST, behaviour for a real filename is unchanged.
