I don't think this is a good solution the problem and I'm not sure how 
successful it will actually be at fixing the problem. How about instead 
properly documenting that single line trivial style cleanup patches are not 
really helpful and people should not send them? (Maybe add a check to 
checkpatch.pl that emits a warning if the patch is a trivial style cleanup ;))

--file is a in my opinion useful option and at least I use it on a regular 
basis.
