[cfe-dev] git-clang-format version

[Jonas Devlieghere via cfe-dev]

Hi Andrey,

Functionality of `git clang-format` is provided by a python script,
which should just call the clang-format binary that is available in
your path. In other words it should use the same version as you see
when you do

$ clang-format -version

However, if for some reason you want to use a different binary, you
can pass it explicitly with

$ git clang format --binary /path/to/clang-format

For all the available options, use

$ git clang-format -h

or have a look at the underlying script [1].

Regards,

Jonas
