[PATCH] D79054: [NFC] Improve documentation for -i and update example git one liner

[Eli Friedman via Phabricator via cfe-commits]

efriedma added a comment.

We should probably encourage people to use git-clang-format with git repositories.  It naturally doesn't have this sort of fragility because it integrates with the repository more tightly.

+                      ' The filename contained in the diff is used unmodified'
+                      ' to determine the source file to update')
   parser.add_argument('-p', metavar='NUM', default=0,

That isn't specific to -i. If you look more carefully at what the command is doing, it always goes back to the original source file.
