When you start to bounce patches, the number will increase, just like when
patches get bounced for lack of SoB :)

I cannot imagine it would be that hard to create a utility script we could all
use that runs git-format-patch then checkpatch on each generated patch and
adds the output to the generated patches. I might have a look this weekend,
but my script-fu is not very powerful...

Graeme
