[PATCH] D12921: clang-format: Support 'template<>' (no space).

So I totally take the point but if it doesn't matter then why does clang-format automatically add one to my "template<>" why not simply leave it alone?

> We never intended clang-format to provide control over every aspect of formatting


I know that when new people come along on an open source project they want to change the world, for that I apologize, we weren't here for the previous decisions, but maybe clang-format is turning into something that is different from what was originally intended, maybe it CAN become the code formatting tool for those teams out there that are not quite/can't  do it the google way.

> We'd rather have it support a limited set of (important) style options really well


And that I understand, but for those of us whose style does not exactly meet one of the 5 what can WE do other than submit patches to give finer control.

I don't want to argue but I would like you (who seems to be the gatekeeper for clang-format) to consider.
