SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] checkpatch: add dedicated checker for 'Fixes:' tag
From
Date
> According to submitting-patches.rst, …

I find that the reference to this document can trigger further considerations
also for this evolving change description.

Can it be nicer to use typographic quotation characters together with ellipses?


> And the current 'Fixes:' checker in "# Check for git id commit length and
> improperly formed commit descriptions" doesn't check for invalid commit id

Should this “link” refer to a known check name?


> length, so this patch adds dedicated checker to fix these issues.

Would you care to transform this information into an imperative wording?

I guess that the clarification around the relevance of word boundaries
will become also more interesting.

Will it become relevant to check if a provided change identification
can actually be resolved to the desired commit?

* How do you think about to start this message with the word “Please”?

* Is the text “summary(no across” still questionable?

* Will there be a need to explicitly describe the data format
for the summary specification also at this place?

Regards,
