formatOnSaveMode appears broken

See original GitHub issue

Issue Type: Bug

I have the following settings:

    "editor.formatOnSave": true,
    "editor.formatOnSaveMode": "modifications",
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "ms-vscode.cpptools",

modifications is set so that if there’s no background source control, no formatting is performed. However, as of VSCode 1.60.0 (I didn’t update vscode-clangd version) this option is formatting the entire file, which is what modificationsIfAvailable is supposed to do.

After updating to the latest vscode-clangd this behaviour is still apparent.

modifications still limits its formatting to edited sections of code when source control is enabled, so that bit is working fine.
