drmcheckapplied: Use author date to reduce false positives #273

Closed dumbbell closed 6 months ago

dumbbell commented 6 months ago

Why

Sometimes, a commit subject is used by several commits, so this property alone is not enough to discriminate already applied patches.

How

By using the commit date in addition to the subject, we are sure the combination is unique.

I use commit message body as well to further reduce false-positives: https://github.com/wulf7/drm-kmod/commit/132af3ee3edccafc23c04fa9326b71d9f924abc2
