At least for ones in the body of the commit rather than the fixes reference. Which is a bit confusing if there is a difference in the rule. > > Please do not split Fixes tags across more than one line. > Is this just for the fixes tag and not for the one in the body? Would you consider adding this check to checkpatch.pl and submitting-patches.rst as I don't see that rule mentioned there. @Jonathan, I'm happy to resubmit with the changes, but it might be easier if you just make the fix in place. Thanks James
