+ * This is our custom patched version of `mock-fs`. This replaces the node.js

+ * against an in-memory filesystem instead of against the disk.
+ *
+ * The 'patch' consists of adding files to the in-memory filesystem from the
+ * disk which are sometimes required by Jest between the `beforeEach` and
+ * `afterEach` calls in a test suite -- without adding these files to the
+ * in-memory filesystem the runtime require by Jest will fail.
+ *
+ * @param mock a `mock-fs` module, as imported in the particular test file
+ * where you want to mock the filesystem.
+ * @returns a filesystem manifest suitable for mocking out runtime
+ * dependencies of Jest
