Subject: patman: Support Series-name tag to name a series
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ef0e9de82be6bb14e1a7c5c28f976c4fced12ed2;p=project%2Fbcm63xx%2Fu-boot.git

Sometimes it is possible to forget the name of the branch you used to
generate an upstream series. To assist with this, add an optional
patman does not use this.
