Bug#1012822: clang-format-14: git-clang-format-14 still tries to use clang-format instead of clang-format-14

[Marc]

Package: clang-format-14
Version: 1:14.0.5-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: dkm+debian at kataplop.net

Dear Maintainer,

When calling:

$ git clang-format-14 HEAD

if you only have 'clang-format-14' installed, this fails with:

 error: cannot find executable "clang-format"

This is because the git-clang-format-14 keeps the default of calling 'clang-format'.

Calling it using --binary clang-format-14 fixes the error.

Maybe changing the default for the clang-format-* versions would avoid issues. I had several versions installed in the past and always thought that calling 'git clang-format-N' would use the correct version.

I can provide you with a patch if you want.

Thanks,
Marc
