[cfe-dev] git-clang-format version

[Andrey Prokopenko via cfe-dev]

Hi Jonas,

Thanks for suggestions. I knew about those options, but using them still
requires extra work as instead of checking the version by doing a simple

  $ git clang-format --version

I have to first determine which clang-format binary there is (depending on
the way it is installed it may be called clang-format, clang-format-3.9,
clang-format-mp-3.9) and then call version on it. This seems like an
unnecessary busy work. Of course, once determined, I could use
clangFormat.binary to remember it.
