From 3ef24b3d35d732c18ea3d68b30979506bfb1320e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Hunt Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2017 04:08:33 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] devtools: make checkpatch cleaner for renamed files When a file is renamed, a normal diff will include all the code of the renamed file, and checkpatch will find warnings and errors, even though it's just a rename. This change will result in a 'rename' line in the diff, resulting in a much cleaner checkpatches result.
