The default options are: --email --git --m --l --multiline, and the
"--git" part basically does a
git log --since=${email_git_since} -- ${file}
to see the logs, and greps and counts sign-offs.
So the "fatal: Not a git repository" is from git saying it can't do that.
And as a result, it _only_ looks at your MAINTAINERS file, rather than
trying to figure it out from other sources too.
For example:
[torvalds@nehalem linux]$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --no-git -f kernel/exit.c
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
would be what you see. And then if you have git, you'd also see
[torvalds@nehalem linux]$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --git -f kernel/exit.c

Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru>
Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>
because it literally looked at sign-offs of patches that touched
kernel/exit.c in the last year, and noticed that those tive people had the
top five spots.
(Ok, so I have the top spot, but I'm a penguin chief and as such get
excused. You were _originally_ on that list too, but apparently you like
getting email, so now you're listed too).
And yeah, I personally find the git statistics more relevant than the
MAINTAINERS list. I just tend to do it by hand, although I tend to use a
six-month cutoff:
git log --since=6.months.ago kernel/exit.c |
grep 'Signed-off-by: ' |
sort | uniq -c | sort -n
works beautifully on just about any set of files and doesn't need no
steenking perl.
