Thx junio for that analyse!
So what I understand from what you have said is that the problem is
not in format-patch since that I see white space from git show $commit
?!:
history: I was trying to remove coding style problem in
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/pcl726.c
./scripts/checkpatch.pl --terse --file
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/pcl726.c #### NO warning after
removing problems
### git commit -a
# was done after that
### git format-patch -s -n master..pcl726
kapare@vostro:~/linux-kernel-patch/linux-2.6$ git show $commit >
TEST.git.show.commit #### see whitespace in vim
kapare@vostro:~/linux-kernel-patch/linux-2.6$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl
--terse --file TEST.git.show.commit
TEST:19: ERROR: trailing whitespace
TEST:27: ERROR: trailing whitespace
TEST:35: ERROR: trailing whitespace
TEST:45: ERROR: trailing whitespace
TEST:55: ERROR: trailing whitespace
TEST:60: ERROR: trailing whitespace
TEST:67: ERROR: trailing whitespace
TEST:69: ERROR: trailing whitespace
TEST:80: ERROR: trailing whitespace
TEST:106: ERROR: trailing whitespace
TEST:113: ERROR: trailing whitespace
So what am I doing wrong? Any clues? see attachment you ask
thx
