Dear Linux folks,
I sent a patch [1] using
git send-email --identity=linux
0001-USB-core-hub_port_reset-Remove-extra-40-ms-reset-rec.patch
with the git configuration below.
[sendemail.linux]
tocmd ="`pwd`/scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit --nogit-fallback
--norolestats --nol"
cccmd ="`pwd`/scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit --nogit-fallback
--norolestats --nom"
That resulted in Gregs old SUSE address getting added:
$ git describe origin
v6.10-12246-g786c8248dbd3
$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats
--nom 0001-USB-core-hub_port_reset-Remove-extra-40-ms-reset-rec.patch
Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxx>
David Brownell <david-b@xxxxxxxxxxx>
linux-usb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I am wondering where that address is coming from, and if I should change
my git configuration?
Kind regards,
Paul
