Update Perforce to use the new Patcher API.
Review Request #14237 — Created Nov. 8, 2024 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
Perforce's patching support is limited, using the
patch
command line
tool with a bit of special handling for added and deleted files (which
has been busted for a long time).The problems we had were that a capability-checking method for empty
files had been renamed at one point, and the regexes weren't broad
enough to handle anything but depot paths starting with//depot
.We now use the new Patcher API, implementing just the part that handles
added/deleted files, fixing them in the process.
Unit tests pass.
