    I don't think this is a good solution the problem and I'm not sure how
    successful it will actually be at fixing the problem. How about instead
    properly documenting that single line trivial style cleanup patches are not
    really helpful and people should not send them? (Maybe add a check to
    checkpatch.pl that emits a warning if the patch is a trivial style cleanup ;))

    --file is a in my opinion useful option and at least I use it on a regular
    basis.
