get_maintainer.pl: restrict cases where it falls back to --git
The list emitted by --git-fallback often leads inexperienced contributors
to add pointless CCs. While not discouraging usage of --git-fallback,
we want to:
1) disable the fallback if only some files lack a maintainer
$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f util/cutils.c hw/ide/core.c
Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> (odd fixer:IDE)
Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> (odd fixer:IDE)
This behavior is taken even if --git-fallback is specified.
2) warn the contributors about what we're doing, asking them to use their
common sense:
$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f util/cutils.c
get_maintainer.pl: No maintainers found, printing recent contributors.
get_maintainer.pl: Do not blindly cc: them on patches! Use common sense.
Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> (commit_signer:1/2=50%)
...
$
Explicitly disabling the fallback will not result in the warning message:
$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f util/cutils.c --no-git-fallback
$ echo $?
0
(Returning 1 would break usage of scripts/get_maintainer.pl as a cccmd
for git-send-email).
