Andrew,
I'm getting minor warnings when applying two patches from
<http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/>
It's probably not serious but I wonder if checkpatch catches this.
Applying patch..git-net.patch
Warning: commit message does not conform to UTF-8.
You may want to amend it after fixing the message, or set the config
variable i18n.commitencoding to the encoding your project uses.
Applying patch..mnt_unbindable-fix.patch
Warning: commit message does not conform to UTF-8.

We do have checks for UTF-8. The commit message problems are usually real
names in Signed-off-by:s being "complex" and being in their email locale
not UTF-8. It is a problem area for sure as people want their email to
look right in their email to the list, and yet they need it in UTF-8 for git.
Yeah it looks like we pick it up ok, the message could do with a little
love:
apw@pinky$ ~/git/checkpatch/checkpatch.pl -q --no-tree ./git-net.patch
