Just to add some experiences from 'polly.llvm.org'. We always use the
latest version version of clang-format, because we also earlier observed
larger differences in formatting between different clang-format
versions. To simplify this format-checking we added a
'polly-check-format'  command to our build system. In recent releases
clang-format formatting only changed little, if at all.

Best,
