Something similar happened to me on macOS when a different version of git was on my $PATH than the one which ships with Xcode. Perhaps the script is overly strict.

git format-patch outputs a mbox format of a patch.
For example, my patch (attachment#459775 [details]) has my git version "2.25.1" in the last line.

If I have a local commit, check-style-local reports the error message.

$ ./Tools/Scripts/webkit-patch check-style-local
