Description
google-java-format-diff.py is generic in that it takes any diff and formats it.
This is certainly useful, but it means that every user who also uses git has to write a wrapper to run "git diff" appropriately and pass in that input. This makes automating formatting in a repository a bit more work.
It would be nice if there were a more git-aware variant that took in commits and/or files directly. For example, clang-format has an official git-clang-format hook (https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk/tools/clang-format/git-clang-format) which provides very tight integration with git when running clang-format.
