b4[1] is a convenient tool for mail-based contribution. A config file[2]
tracked in the tree lets the project ship a few defaults that match the Xen
patch submission rules.
This aims to help new contributors who have never used a mailing list avoid
mistakes when sending their patch series.
The tree has no scripts/checkpatch.pl or equivalent, so there is nothing
for b4 to run per patch. Disable the needs-checking pre-flight check so a
series can be sent without first running b4 prep --check.
