Because commit descriptions sometimes to not have quotes like

commit <deadbeef> (Multiple word description)

btw:

I tested the last proposal with this script:

$ git log --grep="commit [0-9a-f]" -i --format=%h -1000 | \
  while read commit ; do \
    echo $commit; \
    ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --git --no-summary --quiet --types=GIT_COMMIT_ID $commit ; \
  done

and there are still a fair number of ERRORs.

And I'm not sure if this particular ERROR is that useful overall.
