pgindent is a code formatter, not a style checker. Using it to check
whether just the newly added code is correctly formatted would probably
require that all existing code is correctly formatted at all times,
which isn't the case.

What cfbot could do is spit out a diff at the end between the current
code and the pgindent'ed version. That might be useful in some cases.
