The problem I have with this oft-recurring formatting discussion is that it's advertised as a big benefit, sometimes downplaying its cost. It doesn't help me all that much to have familiar formatting and naming in a translation unit; that consistency is dwarfed by the effort needed to understand the logical design of the code to reasonable modify/refactor/maintain it.

I think it's reasonable and harmless to clang-format new changes; I continue to be unconvinced of the cost/benefit ratio of reformatting all of our existing code.

Agreed.

I have moved to the "over all policy" of don’t check in crap code... 😊  And run your styler as you need to, on code you are working on, if it helps you understand it.  

And "try" to avoid checking in "format only changes"
