As a reminder, any pending commits you might have planned for LLDB this weekend 
must not break any of the bots we’re using to validate the health of the source 
tree.  Thanks to everyone who nominated a validation process for the pending 
reformatting.  We’ll assume that each of these validation efforts will proceed 
in parallel following the reformatting commit.

A few quick comments on how that process will work:

The reformatting will take place one day later than originally scheduled on 
September 6th in observance of the North American holiday on Monday.
Tuesday morning the .clang-format changes will go in as one commit, and nothing 
else should follow it until the reformatting is complete.  The reformatting 
changes will be the very next commit and will go in as one large change to 
facilitate the use of tools like git hyper-blame.
I’ll verify that no tests are broken on macOS before committing, because the 
reformatting commit will not be reverted.
Anything that does break on another platform should be fixed with a subsequent 
commit on top of the reformatted code.

Have a fantastic weekend, and for those in the that observe it, a pleasant 
Labor/Labour Day!
