New description:

 Let's try out our auto-formatting workflow by running:
 scripts/maint/rectify_include_paths.py .
 before every commit.

 We occasionally miss include paths:
 https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/1319/commits/a90d1918af5d2b6c6e6dd2c0797f8a63d4042bfa

 We should only ever run auto-formatting on master.

 Edited to add:

 We'll need to use a similar strategy to practracker, where we check for
 the presence of a file before running the autostyle scripts.

 We can't use "make autostyle" directly, because some commit directories
 haven't run configure, so they don't have a Makefile. Instead, we should
 do what we do with all the other hook scripts, and copy the code from
 "make autostyle" to the hook. (Or even better, create a style script, and
 call it from "make autostyle" and the hook.)
