Oh yes, sorry. Fam, can we update patchew's git config to use
  git config --global diff.algorithm histogram
(equivalently, algorithm = histogram in the .gitconfig) -- that
way the patches it runs checkpatch on are more likely to be
formatted so that they minimise spurious checkpatch output, I think.
