From 66881735071e54283df38ffbd9584c63e3661b9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2014 14:50:55 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: allow commit descriptions on separate line from commit id The general form for commit id and description is 'Commit <12+hexdigits> ("commit description/subject line")' but commit logs often have relatively long commit ids and the commit description emds on the next line like: Some explanation as to why commit <12+hexdigits> ("commit foo description/subject line") is improved. Allow this form.
