  --no-signoff               do not check for 'Signed-off-by' line
  --patch                    treat FILE as patchfile
  --branch                   treat args as GIT revision list
  --emacs                    emacs compile window format
  --terse                    one line per report
  -f, --file                 treat FILE as regular source file
