Ah-hah:

def patch(strip, patchname, ui):
    """apply the patch <patchname> to the working directory.
    a list of patched files is returned"""
    fp = os.popen('patch -p%d < "%s"' % (strip, patchname))
...

It's just shelling out to "patch", and then parsing the output.

One thing that does seem to be different between monotone and some
other systems is that they generate diffs that need -p1 by default,
instead of -p0... is there really a standard here that we should
emulate?
