OK, I've pushed this along with a check to make sure we only process
each file once.

I'm not sure how much more I really want to do here. Given the way
pgindent now processes command line arguments, maybe the best thing is
for people to use that. Use of git aliases can help. Something like
these for example

[alias]

    dirty = diff --name-only --diff-filter=ACMU -- .
    staged = diff --name-only --cached --diff-filter=ACMU -- .
    dstaged = diff --name-only --diff-filter=ACMU HEAD -- .

and then you could do

    pgindent `git dirty`

The only danger would be if there were no dirty files. Maybe we need a
switch to inhibit using the current directory if there are no command
line files.

Thoughts?
