Provide an example of usage on real project

[scaytrase]

Given a single library, say... Symfony Console component, how phan should be used to perform code analysis correctly?

Analysing a single or a plain list of files is quiet easy to understand but when a huge project with autoloader managed by things like compose - it is hard to manually prepare file list with correct analys order

A how-to wiki page would make a lot of sense to me.

I hope we will not need the whole wiki page to scan a single project :)

I just added the wiki article https://github.com/etsy/phan/wiki/Tutorial-for-Analyzing-a-Large-Sloppy-Code-Base - I'm hoping it'll mature over time as more folks start doing real-world analyses.

Also, despite this being closed, it'd still be great to see an example of an actual project rather than tips for running on any project.

Would a good way of doing this be something like, linking to a pull request (or just a patch on a fork), and having that patch have all of the things needed to do to get phan up and running? And then link to these patches from that wiki page as concrete examples of what people are doing and how it works.

I hope we'll finish in running phan just like phan analyze -r src/ -r other_src/ -e vendor/ -p -o phan.out (and some other options for tune). I've already started some works on it using symfony console and other components to handle file aggregation process not involving bash.

I just added the -l CLI option for recursively scanning a directory for PHP files. 5ac1893

Let me know if I can help with the Symfony console stuff.

@morria I can open a PR to get your thoughts on it. There is many things to do, as currently Cli is statically called among many classes (alongside the Log class)
