A quick look at git-ls-files manpage suggests that this might work:

 src/tools/pgindent/pgindent $(git ls-files --modified -- *.[ch])

If it's that easy, maybe it's not worth messing with pgindent ...


Also, I wonder if it would be better to modify our policies so that we
update typedefs.list more frequently.  Some people include additions
with their commits, but it's far from SOP.
