Add types, update signatures, and modernize docs for rbtools.utils.diffs.
Review Request #12569 — Created Aug. 24, 2022 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
rbtools.utils.diffs
is used in a lot of diff-generation code, and is
sensitive to string types. These functions are old, lacking modern docs,
and contain positional arguments that are non-obvious.This change adds type annotations to all the functions in here. It also
updates all documentation for our modern standards, and switches some
parameters to keyword-only (deprecating but still allowing them as
positional arguments).
Unit tests pass on Python 3.7-3.11.
