We had some small problems when calling dim setup. This should
hopefully fix them all, making it easier to setup a new environment
like I was doing.

Now setting up the environment from scratch has a bigger chance of
working. Maybe we can update the docs with something like:

curl -O \
        https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/maintainer-tools/raw/master/dim > 
~/bin/dim
chmod +x ~/bin/dim
DIM_PREFIX=/path/to/setup/the/project dim setup


I think the documentation should be to start by cloning the
maintainer-tools repo, and continue from there.

yeah, as long as that's done inside DIM_PREFIX, it should be good.

Documentation idea:

export DIM_PREFIX=/path/to/setup/the/project
cd $DIM_PREFIX
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/maintainer-tools.git
./maintainer-tools/dim setup

After that mention the .dimrc in which some customizations can be made,
including the DIM_PREFIX above, as well as keeping the maintainer-tools
on PATH (although lately I'm just calling ../maintainer-tools/dim)


I also miss a --non-interactive or the like so dim doesn't keep asking
me questions about the name of the remotes.

BR,
Jani.


Another thing we may want to improve:  add a --no-interactive or change
the default behavior so dim just do the right thing without asking.
Thoughts?

Lucas De Marchi (4):
  dim: clone in the right dir
  dim: do all setup relative to $DIM_PREFIX
  dim: update branches after setup
  dim: automatically clone maintainer-tools repo
