Many people use incremental formatting: when you change or add some code,
use the autoformatter to make sure that it conforms to the appropriate
style. One such script is “clang-format-diff.py”. This is the approach that
I want to take on the diffs that I would like to create pull requests for:
make sure that the diff itself conforms to the style.
