I like it.

If it's something you plan to run regularly, you can
make it more compact and a little more robust, e.g.
when names contain shell meta-characters:

  find . \( -iname '*.[ch]' -o -iname '*.[ch]pp' -o -iname '*.cc' \) -print0 \
    | xargs -0 indent --gnu-style --no-tabs -ppi 2 --preserve-mtime
