This is a script for reviewing refactorying patches.  It the goal is
to remove all the non-code changes and leave the interesting bits.

It has options to modify all the new lines or all the lines in the
diff.  For example, if someone sends a patch to make functions static
then you can do:
	cat patch.txt | rename_rev.pl -ea 's/static //'
and hopefully it looks like the patch doesn't do anything.

This version fixes a bug where if you reordered a line of code but
don't make any other changes, it was ignored.  Obviously that should
show up as an interesting change.

regards,
dan carpenter

#!/usr/bin/perl

# This is a tool to help review variable rename patches. The goal is
# to strip out the automatic sed renames and the white space changes
# and leaves the interesting code changes.
#
# Example 1: A patch renames openInfo to open_info:
#     cat diff | rename_review.pl openInfo open_info
#
# Example 2: A patch swaps the first two arguments to some_func():
#     cat diff | rename_review.pl \
#                    -e 's/some_func\((.*?),(.*?)/some_func\($2, $1/'
#
# Example 3: A patch removes the xkcd_ prefix from some but not all the
# variables.  Instead of trying to figure out which variables were renamed
# just remove the prefix from them all:
#     cat diff | rename_review.pl -ea 's/xkcd_//g'
#
# Example 4: A patch renames 20 CamelCase variables.  To review this let's
# just ignore all case changes and all '_' chars.
#     cat diff | rename_review -ea 'tr/[A-Z]/[a-z]/' -ea 's/_//g'
#
# The other arguments are:
# -nc removes comments
# -ns removes '\' chars if they are at the end of the line.
