GitLab has been slowly decommissioning old API endpoints, especially on
the SaaS gitlab.org. They recently got rid of the old diff endpoint,
which we were still using because the v4 API doesn't have a great way to
get the diffs. Unfortunately, this means we need to actually implement
support for v4.

This works somewhat similarly to how the GitHub diff API works, where
instead of just getting a full copy of the diff, we get a JSON blob that
includes diff fragments for each file. This is somewhat complicated by
the fact that said diff fragments do not contain the blob SHAs for the
old and new revisions. We have to go get that information from the file
API, which is a bit chatty but at least we can just use a HEAD request
to get only the metadata instead of having to fetch the file content.

  • Added a bunch of GitLab repositories and created post-commit review
    requests for commits that included modified, added, and deleted files.
    Saw things work every time.
  • Ran unit tests.

Rather than searching each of these per file, maybe combine into one regex, so we only need to search once?

I don't think - needs to be escaped.

    Can you verify if this works on both Python 2 and 3?

    1. So far this is only implemented/tested on 3.0.x, so Python 2 only. I'll do a test port to 4.0.x once other issues are resolved.

    Actually, one big change I'd like to have here.

    In the event that GitLab maybe fixes their diff, we would end up re-corrupting it. So I think we should have logic like:

    if not diff.startswith('git --diff'):
        # Add the git --diff
    
        if not diff.startswith('---'):
            # Fetch and build the file headers...
    

    That way, if they end up adding the ---/+++ lines, we should be able to skip the API calls. And if they add the git --diff, we won't add a redundant one.

    1. Changed to just look for the +++ line since if we have one we can expect both.

    The index line may also contain a UNIX file mode at the end, so we may want to just avoid the $.

    For example:

    index 3f786850e387550fdab836ed7e6dc881de23001b..89e6c98d92887913cadf06b2adb97f26cde4849b 100644
