[cfe-dev] Clang-tidy and version control software

[Eugene Zelenko via cfe-dev]

Hi!

My work code base is stored in ClearCase, and files need to be checked
out before making changes. This need to be done before allowing
Clang-tidy to do automatic fixes.

My previous work database used CVS set up in such way, so write
permission need to be added manually.

I think will be good idea to provide possibility in CLang-tidy to call
arbitrary script with file name as parameter which will make necessary
preparation steps in version control software before making changes in
this particular file.

Other tools like Include What You Use or Clazy could benefit from this too.

Eugene.
