579916beb1 patman: rename main script to __main__.py
This allows running the package as a Python module, like e.g.:

    $ python -m patman

It also prevents Pytest from attempting to parse main.py, which
would cause errors.

0d7a8c4033 patman: Rename the main module
Python does not like the module name being the same as the module
directory. To allow patman modules to be used from other tools, rename
it.

0d24de9d55 Add 'patman' patch generation, checking and submission script
What is this?

=============

This tool is a Python script which:
- Creates patch directly from your branch
- Cleans them up by removing unwanted tags
- Inserts a cover letter with change lists
- Runs the patches through checkpatch.pl and its own checks
- Optionally emails them out to selected people

It is intended to automate patch creation and make it a less
error-prone process. It is useful for U-Boot and Linux work so far,
since it uses the checkpatch.pl script.

It is configured almost entirely by tags it finds in your commits.
This means that you can work on a number of different branches at
once, and keep the settings with each branch rather than having to
git format-patch, git send-email, etc. with the correct parameters
each time. So for example if you put:

in one of your commits, the series will be sent there.

See the README file for full details.
