    Abstract base class for context provider objects specifying custom tags at run-creation time
    (e.g. tags specifying the git repo with which the run is associated).

    When a run is created via the fluent ``mlflow.start_run`` method, MLflow iterates through all
    registered RunContextProviders. For each context provider where ``in_context`` returns ``True``,
    MLflow calls the ``tags`` method on the context provider to compute context tags for the run.
    All context tags are then merged together and set on the newly-created run.
