[PATCH 5/5] checkpatch: Make sure a commit reference description uses parentheses

From: Joe Perches
Date: Sun Feb 01 2015 - 23:28:16 EST


The preferred style for a commit reference in a commit log is:

commit <foo> ("<title line>")

A recent commit removed this check for parentheses. Add it back.
