From 2e4bbbc550be336cbb3defc67430fc0700aa1426 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Brauchli Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2018 15:38:45 -0800 Subject: checkpatch: allow long lines containing URL Allow lines with URL to exceed the 80 char limit for improved interaction in adaption to ongoing but undocumented practice. $ git grep -E '://\S{77}.*' -- '*.[ch]' As per RFC3986 [1], the URL format allows for alphanum, +, - and . characters in the scheme before the separator :// as long as it starts with a letter (e.g. https, git, f.-+). Recognition of URIs without more context information is prone to false positives and thus currently left out of the heuristics. $rawline is used in the check as comments are removed from $line.
