Reimplement the TREES config option.

release-5.x

Reviewers

Older versions of RBTools had an undocumented config option called
TREES, which allowed people to set the REVIEWBOARD_URL for multiple
remote repository paths from a single .reviewboardrc file in their home
directory. After a deprecation cycle, we removed this, but it turns out
that some people were using it and had just skipped all the intermediate
versions of RBTools and went straight from 1 to 5, missing the
deprecation warnings.

This change implements a new version of TREES which is much more full
featured. This allows using either the remote repository path or local
directory name as the keys, and the value dictionaries now support the
full RBTools configuration.

The way this works is that we go through the basic initialization
routine to the point where we've initialized the repository. After that,
we'll look to see if there's a matching TREES configuration. If there
is, we merge that into the base config, remove TREES entirely from the
loaded config, and then rerun all initialization.

  • Set up TREES in my own .reviewboardrc file and verified that things
    worked as expected.
  • Added some new tests that cover the three main codepaths for command
    initialization--no configured server URL, a single server URL, and a
    server URL that gets overridden inside of TREES.
  • Ran all unit tests.

Reimplement the TREES config option.
Older versions of RBTools had an undocumented config option called `TREES`, which allowed people to set the `REVIEWBOARD_URL` for multiple remote repository paths from a single .reviewboardrc file in their home directory. After a deprecation cycle, we removed this, but it turns out that some people were using it and had just skipped all the intermediate versions of RBTools and went straight from 1 to 5, missing the deprecation warnings.

If there is, we merge that into the base config, remove TREES entirely from the loaded config, and then rerun all initialization. Testing Done: - Set up TREES in my own .reviewboardrc file and verified that things worked as expected. - Added some new tests that cover the three main codepaths for command initialization--no configured server URL, a single server URL, and a server URL that gets overridden inside of TREES. - Ran all unit tests.

We should use :file: for .reviewboardrc

The upcoming release is 5.1.

For this, we want to be explicit and use: ... code-block:: python TREES = { ...

This needs a Version Added.

No trailing period here or in the ones below for test docstrings.

Should be 5.1, assuming it's coming to the upcoming release.

Should we add a Raises section to the method docs for this and the NeedsReinitialize error?

We should maybe use https in the example here, so this doesn't look stale.
