Hi Kevin,
You have the entire commit message as the subject.
For example, if I apply the first patch it shows like this:
Staging: wlan-ng: fix Alignment should match open parenthesis. This patch fixes alignment of parenthesis found by checkpatch.pl tool.
Signed-off-by: Kevin McKinney <klmckinney1@xxxxxxxxx>
This breaks the commit message formatting [0]
Move the line starting with "This patch" down to two lines below.
Not sure if they are hard rules but the subject line should be
not much longer than 50 characters. And then the body of the message
should be 72 characters wide, since git indents it.
Check a bunch of random recent commits in the git log and you will
get a feel of the format.
Thanks,
Luis
