"""
A driver script to run clang-tidy on changes detected via git.

By default, clang-tidy runs on all files you point it at. This means that even
if you changed only parts of that file, you will get warnings for the whole
file. This script has the ability to ask git for the exact lines that have
changed since a particular git revision, and makes clang-tidy only lint those.
This makes it much less overhead to integrate in CI and much more relevant to
developers. This git-enabled mode is optional, and full scans of a directory
tree are also possible. In both cases, the script allows filtering files via
glob or regular expressions.
