pycompat: use os.fsencode() to re-encode sys.argv
Historically, the previous code made sense, as Py_EncodeLocale() and
fs.fsencode() could possibly use different encodings. However, this is not the
case anymore for Python 3.2, which uses the locale encoding as the filesystem
encoding (this is not true for later Python versions, but see below). See
https://vstinner.github.io/painful-history-python-filesystem-encoding.html for
a source and more background information.
Using os.fsencode() is safer, as the documentation for sys.argv says that it can
be used to get the original bytes. When doing further changes, the Python
developers will take care that this continues to work.
One concrete case where os.fsencode() is more correct is when enabling Python's
UTF-8 mode. Py_DecodeLocale() will use UTF-8 in this case. Our previous code
would have encoded it using the locale encoding (which might be different),
whereas os.fsencode() will encode it with UTF-8.
Since we don’t claim to support the UTF-8 mode, this is not really a bug and the
patch can go to the default branch. It might be a good idea to not commit this
to the stable branch, as it could in theory introduce regressions.

No arguments shows available views
$ hg init empty
$ cd empty
$ hg show
available views:
bookmarks -- bookmarks and their associated changeset
stack -- current line of work
work -- changesets that aren't finished
abort: no view requested
(use "hg show VIEW" to choose a view)
[255]
`hg help show` prints available views
$ hg help show
hg show VIEW
show various repository information
A requested view of repository data is displayed.
If no view is requested, the list of available views is shown and the
command aborts.
Note:
There are no backwards compatibility guarantees for the output of this
command. Output may change in any future Mercurial release.
Consumers wanting stable command output should specify a template via
"-T/--template".
List of available views:
bookmarks bookmarks and their associated changeset
stack current line of work
work changesets that aren't finished
(use 'hg help -e show' to show help for the show extension)
options:
-T --template TEMPLATE display with template
(some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)
Unknown view prints error
$ hg show badview
abort: unknown view: badview
(run "hg show" to see available views)
[255]
HGPLAIN results in abort
$ HGPLAIN=1 hg show bookmarks
abort: must specify a template in plain mode
(invoke with -T/--template to control output format)
[255]
But not if a template is specified
$ HGPLAIN=1 hg show bookmarks -T '{bookmark}\n'
(no bookmarks set)
$ cd ..
bookmarks view with no bookmarks prints empty message
$ hg init books
$ cd books
$ touch f0
$ hg -q commit -A -m initial
$ hg show bookmarks
(no bookmarks set)
bookmarks view shows bookmarks in an aligned table
$ echo book1 > f0
$ hg commit -m 'commit for book1'
$ echo book2 > f0
$ hg commit -m 'commit for book2'
$ hg bookmark -r 1 book1
$ hg bookmark a-longer-bookmark
$ hg show bookmarks
* a-longer-bookmark 7b57
book1 b757
A custom bookmarks template works
$ hg show bookmarks -T '{node} {bookmark} {active}\n'
7b5709ab64cbc34da9b4367b64afff47f2c4ee83 a-longer-bookmark True
b757f780b8ffd71267c6ccb32e0882d9d32a8cc0 book1 False
bookmarks JSON works
$ hg show bookmarks -T json
[
{
"active": true,
"bookmark": "a-longer-bookmark",
"longestbookmarklen": 17,
"node": "7b5709ab64cbc34da9b4367b64afff47f2c4ee83",
"nodelen": 4
},
{
"active": false,
"bookmark": "book1",
"longestbookmarklen": 17,
"node": "b757f780b8ffd71267c6ccb32e0882d9d32a8cc0",
"nodelen": 4
}
]
JSON works with no bookmarks
$ hg book -d a-longer-bookmark
$ hg book -d book1
$ hg show bookmarks -T json
