Lots of people's scripts/get_maintainer.pl files won't have the `x' bit
set because patch(1) is dumb. So for reliability it's best to always do

perl ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl

<does that>

: akpm:/usr/src/25> perl scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f fs/ext3/inode.c
: grep: The -P option is not supported

that's odd. `man grep' on this machine says

-P, --perl-regexp
Interpret PATTERN as a Perl regular expression.

: fatal: Not a git repository

it whines about not being run in a git directory, but does a decent
job anyway.
