Description

Hi,
I started looking into writing my own tool that wraps rustfmt and git together and then I stumbled into https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt/blob/master/Cargo.toml#L30

What's the status of this tool? I see it's not in rustup components. if it doesn't quite work yet I'd like to help working on it.

Thank you :)
