Hi Greg, I hope you're good and these messages find you well.

ACK. I thought it would be good to explain what I changed.

ACK. I didn't indent. This was the output of "git format-patch" I copied and pasted. Next time I'll remove the indentation manually.

Yes, I did it. No more checks about "Alignment should match open parenthesis".

> I think you just added more warnings...

I only focused to solve the checks related to the message above. Nevertheless, there are still other warnings and checks reported by checkpath.pl non-related to this patch (i.e. not caused by this patch) that need to be fixed, but I intend to help to fix them afterwards in a different patch, so I don't send patches with too many changes at once.
