The last commit in that branch says:

commit 681a370 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Author: Tom Lane <tgl(at)sss(dot)pgh(dot)pa(dot)us>
Date: Sun Apr 23 10:38:15 2023 -0400

Mark this git repo as obsolete.

Add a README note explaining that we've pulled pg_bsd_indent
into the main Postgres source tree. This copy will not be
maintained anymore.

Might be nice if we could just remove it. It was created by Tom Lane in
2017.

The in-tree ./src/tools/pg_bsd_indent/ doesn't give me any warnings on
gcc 14.2.0.
