Currently, if you run patchcheck without a remote named upstream or origin, it fails with the following error:

TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "NoneType") to str

I ran into this during my first contribution, and it required viewing the source code for patchcheck to figure out what the issue was.

To avoid this for others in the future, I have updated the patchcheck get_git_upstream_remote() method to be more robust. The following changes have been implemented:

  • It now checks git remote -v.
  • It looks for remote URLs that include python/cpython and (fetch).
  • In the event that only one is found, it returns the name of that remote, regardless of the name.
  • In the event that multiple options are found, it looks for upstream, origin, and python, in that order, and returns the first one it finds.
  • In the event that none are found, it returns an informative error, including a link to the section of the Dev Guide relevant to creating an upstream remote, and lists the available fetch remotes.

Discussed with @ncoghlan prior to submitting this PR.

Running make patchcheck locally reminded me to update Misc/ACKS (@kattni I used "Kattni" based on your GH profile and website About page, so please let me know if you'd prefer a different entry)
