No such commit in current -hext
$ git status HEAD
HEAD detached at next-20180308

checkpatch doesn't try to match email sender to sign-off
as the email sender doesn't have to sign-off on a patch.

It currently does:

	if ($is_patch && $has_commit_log && $chk_signoff && $signoff == 0) {
		ERROR("MISSING_SIGN_OFF",
		      "Missing Signed-off-by: line(s)\n");
	}
