And I still disagree.

checkpatch should consider whatever
input it gets as if it's a patch.

So, if you really want to feed
git log output as input to checkpatch
you should format that output
appropriately and the best way to do
that is to use git log --format=etc.

Don't suggest removing useful checks.
