[U-Boot] Problem with first use of patman

[Albert ARIBAUD]

Hello Simon and the list,

I'm trying to start using patman, and -- probably out of sheer
ignorance -- cannot make it work.

I've defined my .patman file with aliases for mvgbe, lacie_kw, arm,
arm926ejs etc.

I am trying to generate patches from a local branch (which I have made
available on the u-boot-arm repo as 'add-ws-support') which has two
commits.

Top commit contains some matman tags, but the error is the without any
tag.

The complete error is:

albert at lilith:~/src/u-boot-arm$ tools/patman/patman -n -c2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tools/patman/patman", line 125, in <module>
    series = patchstream.GetMetaData(options.start, options.count)

190, in ProcessLine self.commit.subject = line
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'subject'
albert at lilith:~/src/u-boot-arm$ 

Can Simon (or someone who's already bumped into this error) tell me what
I'm doing wrong?

Amicalement,

Albert.
