Hi, I am now getting python errors when using --root with checkpatch.pl and not being inside the linux repository.
$ ./linux-next/scripts/checkpatch.pl --root=/usr/src/linux-next --strict -f linux-next/Makefile FAIL: /usr/src Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/src/linux-next/scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 230, in <module> repo = git.Repo(os.getcwd()) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/git/repo/base.py", line 156, in __init__ raise InvalidGitRepositoryError(epath) InvalidGitRepositoryError: /usr/src total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 checks, 1726 lines checked linux-next/Makefile has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission.
