The signature checking patches in commit 2011247550 have broken one use-case for me. I pipe the git-commits mailing list to it and skim the summary once a day[*]

Because git indents its changelogs, every single commit is now warning with this..

WARNING: Do not use whitespace before Signed-off-by:
#5252:

[*] It's too noisy to do anything useful with right now, which is
why I'd like to filter out all the whitespace crap, but hopefully that'll happen eventually.

Hey Dave.

Maybe you could use --ignore=BAD_SIGN_OFF for this reviewing?

I think that the general use case is OK.

I'm not sure that it's appropriate to use
checkpatch on git log output.

cheers, Joe

Hey Dave.

Ok, that works for me. I guess I should add all the whitespace ignores while I'm at it.

thanks,

Dave

or maybe add --ignore-all-space to git log
