patman collects tags that it sees in the commit and places them nicely
sorted at the end of the patch. However, this is not really necessary and

In Python, sys.exit() function can also take an object other
than an integer.
If an integer is given to the argument, Python exits with the return
code of it. If a non-integer argument is given, Python outputs it
to stderr and exits with the return code of 1.
That means,
print >> sys.stderr, "Blah Blah"
sys.exit(1)
is equivalent to
sys.exit("Blah Blah")
The latter is a useful shorthand.
Note:
Some error messages in Buildman and Patman were output to stdout.
But they should go to stderr. They are also fixed by this commit.
This is a nice side effect.

If Series-to tag is missing, Patman exits with a message
"No recipient".
This is just annoying for those who had already added
sendemail.to configuration.
I guess many developers have
[sendemail]
to = u-boot@lists.denx.de
in their .git/config because the 'To: u-boot@lists.denx.de' field
should always be added when sending patches.
That seems more reasonable rather than adding
'Series-to: u-boot@lists.denx.de' to every patch series.
Patman should exit only when both Series-to tag and sendemail.to
configuration are mising.

When patman applies the patches it checks out a new branch, uses 'git am'
to apply the patches one by one, and then tries to go back to the old
branch. If you try this when the branch is 'undefined', this doesn't work
as patman cannot restore the correct branch after applying the patches.
It seems that 'undefined' is created by git and is persistent after it is
created, so that you can end up on quite an old branch.
Add a check for the 'undefined' branch to avoid this.

There is an unfortunate bug in the signoff suppression logic. The first

Sometimes a commit should have notes enclosed with it rather

Often it happens that patches include tags which don't have aliases. It
is annoying that patman fails in this case, and provides no option to
continue other than adding empty tags to the .patman file.
Correct this by adding a '-t' option to ignore tags that don't exist.
Print a warning instead.
Since running the tests is not a common operation, move this to --test
instead, to reserve -t for this new option.

This patch adds support for a [settings] section in the .patman file.
In this section you can add settings that will affect the default
values for command-line options.
Support is added in a generic way such that any setting can be updated
by just referring to the "dest" of the option that is passed to the
option parser. At the moment options that would make sense to put in
settings are "ignore_errors", "process_tags", and "verbose". You
could override them like:
[settings]
ignore_errors: True
process_tags: False
verbose: True
The settings functionality is also used in a future change which adds
support for per-project settings.
