Hi all,
Today's linux-next merge of the jc_docs tree got a conflict in:
scripts/checkpatch.pl
between commit:
253f01394dc0 ("checkpatch: check return of `git_commit_info`")
from the mm-nonmm-unstable branch of the mm tree and commit:
6356f18f09dc ("Align git commit ID abbreviation guidelines and checks")
from the jc_docs tree.
I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This
is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial
conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree
is submitted for merging. You may also want to consider cooperating
with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly
complex conflicts.

This is now a conflict between Linus' tree and the nn-nonmm-stable tree.

The fix looks fine, but...

...it all comes down to a single "+" sign here. If 253f01394dc0 could
be tweaked to add that character, I think this conflict would go away
and we wouldn't make Linus delve into Perl code...?
Just a thought.
Thanks,
