From: Daniel P. Berrangé <berra...@redhat.com>This reverts commit fa4d79c64dae03ffa269e42e21822453856618b7. The logic in this commit was flawed in two critical ways * It always failed to report SPDX validation on the last newly added file. IOW, it only worked if at least 2 new files were added in a commit * If an existing file change, followed a new file change, in the commit and the existing file context/changed lines included SPDX-License-Identifier, it would incorrectly associate this with the previous newly added file. Simply reverting this commit will make it significantly easier to understand the improved logic in the following commit. Reported-by: Peter Maydell <peter.mayd...@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
