Before this change, matched sections were added in the order
of appearance in the normally alphabetic section order of
the MAINTAINERS file.
For instance, finding the maintainer for drivers/scsi/wd7000.c
would first find "SCSI SUBSYSTEM", then "WD7000 SCSI SUBSYSTEM",
then "THE REST".
before patch:
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -f drivers/scsi/wd7000.c

Miroslav Zagorac <zaga@fly.cc.fer.hr>
linux-scsi@vger.kernel.orglinux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
get_maintainer.pl now selects matched sections by longest pattern match.
Longest is the number of "/"s and any specific file pattern.
This changes the example output order of MAINTAINERS to whatever is
selected in "WD7000 SUBSYSTEM", then "SCSI SYSTEM", then "THE REST".
after patch:
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -f drivers/scsi/wd7000.c
