From 601493e8c4efd367f1d5229f02b42137f40b8086 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tao Bao Date: Thu, 10 May 2018 12:07:47 -0700 Subject: Document the clang-format usage. `repo upload` and `git clang-format` may give slightly different results, because they may trigger different `clang-format` binaries. Document the setup to get consistent formatting results.
