[cfe-dev] clang-tidy -- using custom path config file

[Oza, Hiral via cfe-dev]

Greetings!

Does clang-tidy accepts config (i.e. .clang-tidy) file from custom path?
I am planning to use to have ".clang-tidy" maintained as "/some/path/to/my-tidy-config" and
 need to pass "/some/path/to/my-tidy-config" to clang-tidy.

Tried :::
$ clang-tidy --config=/some/path/to/my-tidy-config
YAML:1:1: error: not a mapping
/some/path/to/my-tidy-config
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Error: invalid configuration specified.
Invalid argument

Any suggestion? Or existing patch?

Thank you.
