Yep. Our solutions were at opposite ends of the spectrum, though. :)

Yes, agreed. My personal rule with a list like this is often "once you
have to start breaking across multiple lines, you should put one per
line". I don't know if there's a way to codify that in clang-format,
though.
The case I fed it (which is just nonsense I made up that does not fit
our style) also left me a bit confused at first, but I think it was
because the .clang-format parser was bailing as soon as it found an
unrecognized entry, but then formatting according to bogus rules. With
the original file from Brandon I got:
diff --git a/builtin/merge-file.c b/builtin/merge-file.c
index 7e8371670b..8994450e0c 100644
--- a/builtin/merge-file.c

-}
+static int foo(void *bar, int baz) { /* nothing */ }
int cmd_merge_file(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix)
{
which is clearly not our style. And then after removing the entries I
mentioned elsewhere, I get:
diff --git a/builtin/merge-file.c b/builtin/merge-file.c
index 7e8371670b..574ba6d86f 100644

which looks right. So you might want to double-check that it was
respecting our settings, and there were no warnings to stderr.
