I tend to agree...
I had previously seen
     "Possible unwrapped commit description (prefer a maximum 75 chars per line)\n"
warnings from checkpatch, but one closer look that doesn't apply to
Fixes: lines (among other special cases).

Maybe Andrew will fix it up for me when it applies .... (please!)

Thanks,
NeilBrown
