Subject: broken checkpatch signature checking

The signature checking patches in commit 2011247550 have broken one use-case for me.
I pipe the git-commits mailing list to it and skim the summary once a day[*]

Because git indents its changelogs, every single commit is now warning
with this..

WARNING: Do not use whitespace before Signed-off-by:
#5252:
    Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>


	Dave


[*] It's too noisy to do anything useful with right now, which is
    why I'd like to filter out all the whitespace crap, but hopefully
    that'll happen eventually.
