From d311cd44545f2f69749c68d6723360b4cc21cd02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2014 16:10:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: add test for commit id formatting style in commit log Commit logs have various forms of commit id references. Try to standardize on a 12 character long lower case commit id along with a description of parentheses and the quoted subject line. ie: commit 0123456789ab ("commit description") If git and a git tree exists, look up the commit id and emit the appropriate line as part of the message.
