This version brings a number of minor fixes updating the type detector and
the unary tracker.  It also brings a few small fixes for false positives.
It also reverts the --file warning.  Of note:

 - limit CVS checks to added lines
 - improved type detections
 - fixes to the unary tracker

Andy Whitcroft (13):
      Version: 0.15
      EXPORT_SYMBOL checks need to accept array variables
      export checks must match DECLARE_foo and LIST_HEAD
      possible types: cleanup debugging missing line
      values: track values through preprocessor conditional paths
      typeof is actually a type
      possible types: detect definitions which cross lines
      values: include line numbers on value debug information
      values: ensure we find correctly record pending brackets
      values: simplify the brace history stack
      CVS keyword checks should only apply to added lines
      loosen spacing for comments
      allow braces for single statement blocks with multiline conditionals

Harvey Harrison (1):
      checkpatch: remove fastcall

Ingo Molnar (1):
      checkpatch.pl: revert wrong --file message

Uwe Kleine-Koenig (1):
      fix typo "goot" -> "good"
