    The script now supports to check a specified commit or a specified range
    of commits (i.e., commit1..commit2).  Developers and maintainers are
    encouraged to use this functionality before sending or merging patches
    to avoid potential bugs and to keep the code, documentation, etc. clean.
    
    This patch adds the following options to the script:
    
     -c COMMIT, --commit=COMMIT
                      Check if the specified commit (hash) introduces
                      undefined Kconfig symbols.
    
     -d DIFF, --diff=DIFF
                      Diff undefined symbols between two commits.  The input
                      format bases on Git log's 'commmit1..commit2'.
    
      --force         Reset current Git tree even when it's dirty.
    
    Note that the first two options require to 'git reset --hard' the user's
    Git tree.  This hard reset is necessary to keep the script fast, but it
    can lead to the loss of uncommitted data.  Hence, the script aborts in
    case it is executed in a dirty tree.  It won't abort if '--force' is
    passed.
    
    If neither -c nor -d is specified, the script defaults to check the
    entire local tree (i.e., the previous behavior).
