It would help to have some easy-to-find information about where clang-tidy lives:

The documentation (http://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/) says that it’s in llvm/tools/clang/tools/extra, but tools/extra doesn’t exist in the cfe repository, so presumably needs to be checked out separately.  Digging around in the repo, I find that there’s a top-level clang-tools-extra directory that should presumably be checked out into llvm/tools/clang/tools as extra, but I can’t find anything telling me this explicitly.
