Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] coccicheck: support $COCCI being defined as a
 directory

I find that the commit message should still be considerably improved.
How do you think about to use the subject “[PATCH] coccicheck:
Support search for SmPL scripts within selected directory hierarchy”?

> Put a modification in scripts/coccicheck which supports users in
> configuring COCCI parameter as a directory to traverse files in
> directory whose next level directory contains rule files with Suffix of cocci.

* Please avoid a typo in this change description.

* Would you like to integrate a wording approach like the following?

  A search can be performed for SmPL scripts within a directory hierarchy.
  Start a corresponding file determination if the environment variable “COCCI”
  contains an acceptable path.

Regards,
Markus
