From: Srinivas Kandagatla <[email protected]>
This patch fixes "check spaces before a quoted newline" to consider
only new lines added in the patch, rather than checking all the lines in
the patch.
Without this patch the "check spaces before a quoted newline" will check
all the lines in the patch and throw un-nessary warnings.
