doc/usage:Warning from PATMAN tool prevents uploading a cmd-usage help file for askenv

[Adarsh Babu Kalepalli]

Hi Heinrich,

Having prepared the documentation for "askenv" man page , getting stuck
with a warning (PATMAN tool )to submit the patch.
---------------------------------
$git add doc/usage/askenv.rst
$git commit
$./tools/patman/patman -c1 send -n
----------------------------------
vb@vb:~/uboot/temp/u-boot$ ./tools/patman/patman -c1 send -n
WARNING: Unknown setting ignore_warnings
Cleaned 1 patch
WARNING:FILE_PATH_CHANGES: added, moved or deleted file(s), does
MAINTAINERS need updating?
#16:
new file mode 100644

0 errors, 1 warnings, 0 checks for 0001-testing.patch:

checkpatch.pl found 0 error(s), 1 warning(s), 0 checks(s)
Bad divisor in main::vcs_assign: 0
Not sending emails due to errors/warnings
Dry run, so not doing much. But I would do this:

Send a total of 1 patch with no cover letter.
   0001-testing.patch
      Cc:  GitAuthor: Adarsh Babu Kalepalli <opensource.kab@gmail.com>
To:  u-boot@lists.denx.de
Version:  None
Prefix:  None
Email would not be sent
-------------------------------------------------
How do I update maintainers about this new file ??.

It was noticed that modifying
*my %ignore_type = ();*
to
*my %ignore_type = (FILE_PATH_CHANGES);*

skipped generating this warning message.

How do I overcome this blocker??,Please advise.

Regards,
Adarsh

Just use 'git send-email'.

Tom Rini <trini@konsulko.com> is the maintainer for 'THE REST'. Put him
on copy, please.
