My team recently switched from Uncrustify to Clang-format for our iOS development and this replaces a gap that I had: UncrustifyX. We had a lot of issues with Uncrustify and I burned a lot of time trying to deal with its bugs. Clang-format

I hadn't heard about the vendor experiment. Is it now possible to point at individual tags/branches of a remote repository?
