Again, I can't do it in my "workflow" at the moment. This list was for
people to post what they do and get comments.
And a comment of "don't use the tool you have, use something else that
doesn't do what you really need to do", isn't all that helpful :)
I just noticed that checkpatch can handle a git range, so I'll revisit
it and see if I can "just test one thing" with it or not, next week.
