Buildman has been around for a little over a year and is used by a fair
number of U-Boot developers. However quite a few people still use MAKEALL.

Buildman was intended to replace MAKEALL, so perhaps now is a good time to
start that process.

The reasons to deprecate MAKEALL are:
- We don't want to maintain two build systems
- Buildman is typically faster
- Buildman has a lot more features

This series adds a few features to buildman to fill some gaps, adds some
information into the README on how to migrate from MAKEALL, and adds a
deprecation message to MAKEALL.

Changes in v8:
- Add new patch to disable the pager in git

Changes in v7:
- Add new patch to fix the 'reverse' bug
- Remove already-applied patches from the series
- Add the deprecation message at the end of the build also
- Drop the 'colour' patch sadly

Changes in v6:
- Add new patch to fix indentation in teminal.py
- Add new patch to fix patman unit tests
- Add new patch to remove patman's -a option

Changes in v5:
- Drop patch to search for *cc instead of *gcc for the compiler

Simon Glass (6):
  patman: Support the 'reverse' option for 'git log'
  patman: Fix indentation in terminal.py
  patman: Correct unit tests to run correctly
  patman: Remove the -a option
  patman: Use --no-pager' to stop git from forking a pager
