From 15662b3e8644905032c2e26808401a487d4e90c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:13:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: add a --strict check for utf-8 in commit logs Some find using utf-8 in commit logs inappropriate. Some patch commit logs contain unintended utf-8 characters when doing things like copy/pasting compilation output. Look for the start of any commit log by skipping initial lines that look like email headers and "From: " lines. Stop looking for utf-8 at the first signature line.
