Subject: devtools: select patches to check with git range
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?p=dpdk.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=ee2b25c85a027af658ff50f33d737716d6350b90

devtools: select patches to check with git range

Rather than default to origin/master.., it can be handy to choose the
range you want to check.

Example on a branch rebased on next-net:

Before:
$ ./devtools/checkpatches.sh
...
...
67/69 valid patches

After:
$ ./devtools/checkpatches.sh -r next-net/master..

3/3 valid patches
