From: Simon Glass Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:09:43 +0000 (+0000) Subject: patman: Add -a option to refrain from test-applying the patches X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/img/sics.gif?a=commitdiff_plain;h=902a9715eaef60e75f842381df485b76e5082c4f;p=u-boot.git patman: Add -a option to refrain from test-applying the patches Especially with the Linux kernel, it takes a long time (a minute or more) to test-apply the patches, so patman becomes significantly less useful. The only real problem that is found with this apply step is trailing spaces. Provide a -a option to skip this step, for those working with clean patches.
