The tool looks at touched lines only since it works with unified diff and parse it.
As for other files it could be done with additional parameter "/path" and format all containing files
according to STYLES file.

I suppose it should be mentioned in STYLES file like:
xen ./xen
linux ./xen/common/radix-tree.c
libxl ./xen/common/other-file.c
After diff is parsed we got a list of touched files so, just check for style to apply.
