In particular, I'd like this to be done in SwarmBucket.  In the short term, I can just write a wrapper recipe which applies any available patch and then passes control to the target recipe.

ftr skia (borenet@) uses rietveld, and would like this to be implemented before they switch to gerrit

It seems to me like the wrapper recipe idea in #1 is not just a short-term solution, but actually the preferred solution: A "recipe tester" recipe would checkout, patch, and run a separate recipe engine instance.

Self-patching can be technically tricky and confusing to evaluate. Is there any reason to even consider it given the simplicity of the wrapper recipe approach?
