It seems that doctest behaves differently now, and some of the unit tests
do not run. Adjust the tests to work correctly.

checkpatch has a new type of warning, a 'CHECK'. At present patman fails
with these, which makes it less than useful.
Add support for checks, making it backwards compatible with the old
checkpatch.
At the same time, clean up formatting of the CheckPatches() output,
fix erroneous "internal error" if multiple patches have warnings and
be more robust to new types of problems.

The patman test code was failing because some extra spaces got
stripped when it was applied. These spaces are critical to the test
code working.

What is this?
=============
This tool is a Python script which:
- Creates patch directly from your branch
- Cleans them up by removing unwanted tags
- Inserts a cover letter with change lists
- Runs the patches through checkpatch.pl and its own checks
- Optionally emails them out to selected people
It is intended to automate patch creation and make it a less
error-prone process. It is useful for U-Boot and Linux work so far,
since it uses the checkpatch.pl script.
It is configured almost entirely by tags it finds in your commits.
This means that you can work on a number of different branches at
once, and keep the settings with each branch rather than having to
git format-patch, git send-email, etc. with the correct parameters
each time. So for example if you put:
in one of your commits, the series will be sent there.
See the README file for full details.
