Git requires a `-f` flag to force adding files that are captured by the `.gitignore` (hg does not need this). We need this because of changes in bug 1894160 that requires vendoring to explicitly add `.egg-info` files due to `.gitignore` and `.hgignore` changes. Since they are captured by this `.gitignore`, we need to be able to forcibly add them. We add the `force` flag to all `add_remove_files` to allow us to append that flag when running the `GitRepository` variant. They are unused for all other variants, but we need to maintain a consistent function signature. Note: Also moved up the hash file regeneration to happen earlier so that it is automatically added to VCS instead of having to be done manually.

This directory contains common Python code. The basic rule is that if Python code is cross-module (that's "module" in the Mozilla meaning - as in "module ownership") and is MPL-compatible, it should go here. What should not go here: * Vendored python modules (use third_party/python instead) * Python that is not MPL-compatible (see other-licenses/) * Python that has good reason to remain close to its "owning" (Mozilla) module (e.g. it is only being consumed from there).
