Forcing it on everyone that way will be controversial, because there
is still some leeway in formatting, whereas automation would remove
any chance of personal preference, and probably screw up in some
cases. But we could at least start by adding the clang-format config
file to git so that it’s available for doing this manually. Then in a
few years maybe everybody will get used to it enough, and it can be
refined enough, to become near-universal.
That's the point: remove the personal preference. Or, make it
irrelevant. You can format your own code localy on your own system
however you like. As soon as it gets integrated, it will formatted
following whatever the standard is anyway.
So no, I do not think there should be leeway for personal differences
here. Code formatting matters for readability, but it doesn't merrit
long discussions or wasting time fixing -1's because of wrongly placed
spaces. If the formatting needs improvement, improve the script doing
the work, don't do it manually.
