Thanks for doing this. It works fine except one problem: You should
delete "SortIncludes: false" from the contrib/clang-format file, because
it is the default for custom styles and doesn't work in .clang-format
(it is a command line option instead):

markus@x4 gcc % clang-format -style=file gcc-main.c
YAML:47:15: error: unknown key 'SortIncludes'

Otherwise it looks good to me.
