Hmm, the problem is the --terse command is rather crude and simply throws away everything except the first line of text. My commit made the verbose output multi-line to improve readability $ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl ~/dep WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s): migration/threadinfo.h migration/threadinfo.c Does MAINTAINERS need updating? total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 193 lines checked /var/home/berrange/dep has style problems, please review. If any of these errors are false positives report them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS. but this inadvertantly made terse output worse :-( With regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|
