Sorry! I should probably change the prompt message accordingly,
especially removing the word "new". Because I'm reporting new as
well as old coccinelle warnings:
In fact I've never run a complete coccinelle check, mark all existing
warnings as "old" and ignore them. It feels not good to ignore all
existing problems in that way. On the other hand, it's also not
feasible to check/fix all of them in one day.
So I decided to report old/new coccinelle warnings for the files
touched by new commits. Which looks like the most manageable way.
However it means the below message is not always accurate and
sometimes I forgot to change it accordingly:
