Switch RBTools to use modern patching, and add a legacy patch wrapper.

Review Request #14224 — Created Nov. 3, 2024 and updated

Information

RBTools
release-5.x

Reviewers

rbt patch and rbt land now use the new Patcher class
(specifically, a SCMClientPatcher), which gives SCMClients a lot more
control over the patching and committing process.

By default, SCMClients that don't define custom patching logic will use
the built-in patching logic that leverages the patch tool.

SCMClients that override apply_patch() will continue to use their
existing patching logic, but wrapped by a _LegacyPatcher
implementation that'll maintain compatibility until RBTools 7. This acts
as a bridge between the new Patcher API and legacy implementations of
SCMClient.apply_patch() and SCMClient.apply_patch_for_empty_files()

rbt patch and rbt land will call SCMClient.get_patcher() to return
a SCMClientPatcher-compatible instance for handling patching
operations.

Now, there's a little bit of a complex transition here.
SCMClient.apply_patch() will remain a valid function for applying
patches for the time-being, but its behavior changes between the legacy
patcher and the modern patcher:

  • By default, a SCMClient that doesn't implement custom patching
    behavior) will use a default apply_patch() method that gets a
    default SCMClientPatcher class for handling patches by way of
    get_patcher().

  • Updated SCMClients with custom patching behavior are expected to now
    subclass Patcher and override patcher_cls to match it.
    get_patcher() will return it, and apply_patch() will interface
    with it.

  • SCMClients that override apply_patch() with legacy patching behavior
    will behave as they did before, for now, and get_patcher() will
    return a _LegacyPatcher to wrap it. This enables rbt patch to work
    with the legacy implementation.

Over time, we'll remove _LegacyPatcher. We may also be deprecating
apply_patch() soon, once everything is transitioned over.

All unit tests passed.

Applied patches to local trees using both the default patching
implementation and the legacy patcher. Tested applying, reversing,
and committing.
