Hi All,

I am trying to run checkpatch.pl on linux-next tree's staging folder.

what you are trying to check? a patch or style problem of any code??

But whatever sub directory, I try to run it on. It is giving me the same error for all the files :

ERROR: Does not appear to be a unified-diff format patch

I thought that it might be a problem with my git. So I clone the git tree again.

So can anyone help me, what am I missing ?

Regards Rahul

Use -f for giving files as input If you have a real patch then just give the patch name
