whats new acceptable logging format for checkpatch.pl ?
[crope@localhost linux]$ git show

WARNING: Do not use whitespace before Signed-off-by:
Don't know if checkpatch used to accept that, but you can use
"--format=email" to make it work with git show:
bjorn@canardo:/usr/local/src/git/linux$ git show --format=email 1b19e42952963ae2a09a655f487de15b7c81c5b7|./scripts/checkpatch.pl -
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 48 lines checked
Your patch has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission.
Yes, I found it. It was rather new patch adding more checks.
As a you pointed that can be workaround giving --format=email as a param
for git show. But it is yet another "useless" param to remember...
So what is recommended way to ensure patch is correct currently?
a) before commit
b) after commit

checkpatch: validate signature styles and To: and Cc: lines
Signatures have many forms and can sometimes cause problems if not
in the
correct format when using git send-email or quilt.
Try to verify the signature tags and email addresses to use the
generally
accepted "Signed-off-by: Full Name <email@xxxxxxxxxx>" form.
