While it is nice that it identified the trailing whitespace in this case, does it really make sense for the patchew to be running the checkpatch.pl from qemu.git, against patches to qemu-web.git ?

Perhaps it should skip patches with 'web' or 'qemu-web' in the [...] part of the subject ?

And/or have a dedicated patch checker for the web contnt that ran appropriate tests ?

Regards,
Daniel

... and Paolo, could you maybe fix up that line when picking up the patch?

Thanks,
