Subject: Re: [PATCH v5] coccicheck: Support search for SmPL scripts within
 selected directory hierarchy

I got the impression that you are struggling with difficulties (for unknown reasons)
around adding space characters at some places.
How would you like to improve this situation?

* Allow defining the environment variable “COCCI” as a directory
  to search SmPL scripts.

* Start a corresponding file determination if it contains
  an acceptable path.

Would you like to update the provided software documentation together with
the small extension of this bash script?

Update candidates:
* https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/dev-tools/coccinelle.rst?id=23fdb198ae81f47a574296dab5167c5e136a02ba#n189

‣ Would you find the patch change log sufficient without the information
  “Changes in”?

‣ I find the specification “1:” unnecessary before a single description item.
