Yes of course I can, but I don't want to copy everything except the one thing I want to change.

I have one .clang-format in my main directory and since I only want to change the column limit for my tests I want to write a .clang-format in the test directory with the content:

  BasedOnStyle: File
  ColumnLimit: 0

So when I change (or better add) a value in my main .clang-format it will also apply to my tests, without touching their file.
