Heh, you have an infinite more memory than I have ;-) 

That one is 12 years ago or so, isn't it?  Not that I changed my
stance.

Having said that, I suspect

    ! grep -q ^ $(COCCICHECK_PATCHES_INTREE)

might have been easier to understand.  We do not want any file with
even a single line in it, and "grep -q" knows to short-circuit
(i.e. if the first file in the COCCICHECK_PATCHES_INTREE list is not
empty, it does not even bother to open the rest of the files).
