From 29ee1b0c67e0dd7dea8dd718e8326076bce5b6fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2014 16:10:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: ignore email headers better There are some patches created by git format-patch that when scanned by checkpatch report errors on lines like To: address.tld This is a checkpatch false positive. Improve the logic a bit to ignore folded email headers to avoid emitting these messages.
