Joe, I sometimes see unexpected output WRT --git-fallback. Example: $ ./get_maintainer.pl -f Documentation/doc-guide/sphinx.rst Jonathan Corbet (maintainer:DOCUMENTATION,commit_signer:1/1=100%) <-- ??? Lukas Bulwahn (commit_signer:1/1=100%,authored:1/1=100%,added_lines:2/2=100%,removed_lines:2/2=100%) <-- ??? linux-doc@vger.kernel.org (open list:DOCUMENTATION) linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list) As you see, --git-fallback is used in this case. Why? It looks strange to me as Jon is listed as a "maintainer". Having "F: Documentation/" in MAINTAINERS does not suffice? Can you elaborate? Regards, Akira
