From ca37614b0d7b289d5c0a25c76442394faf60b5dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2016 08:45:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] get_maintainer: Don't check if STDIN exists in a VCS repository If get_maintainer is not given any filename arguments on the command line, the standard input is read for a patch. But checking if a VCS has a file named &STDIN is not a good idea and fails. Verify the nominal input file is not &STDIN before checking the VCS.
