context: simplify call to icase matcher in 'match()' The two function takes the very same arguments. We make this clearer and less error prone by dispatching on the function only and having a single call point in the code.

py3: make sure using bytes status char rather than ascii values 'MAR!?IC' is converted to their ascii values when slicing through it. This patch uses pycompat.iterbytestr() to get bytes value.

branchmap: handle nullrev in setcachedata 906be86990 recently changed to switch from: self._rbcrevs[rbcrevidx:rbcrevidx + _rbcrecsize] = rec to pack_into(_rbcrecfmt, self._rbcrevs, rbcrevidx, node, branchidx) This causes an exception if rbcrevidx is -1 (i.e. the nullrev). The old code handled this because python handles out of bound sets to arrays gracefully. The new code throws because the self._rbcrevs buffer isn't long enough to write 8 bytes to. Normally it would've been resized by the immediately preceding line, but because the 0 length buffer is greater than the idx (-1) times the size, no resize happens. Setting the branch for the nullrev doesn't make sense anyway, so let's skip it. This was caught by external tests in the Facebook extensions repo, but I've added a test here that catches the issue.

py3: call codecs.escape_encode() directly string_escape doesn't exist on Python 3, but fortunately the undocumented codecs.escape_encode() function exists on CPython 2.6, 2.7, 3.5 and PyPy 5.6. So let's use it for now. http://stackoverflow.com/a/23151714

templatekw: make join() escape values of extras (BC) (issue5504) Since extras may contain blob, the default template escapes its values: 'extra': '{key}={value|stringescape}' join() should follow the output style of the default template.

util: wrap s.encode('string_escape') call for future py3 compatibility

py3: prove hg tip works

py3: call strftime() with native str type Since strftime() may contain non-ascii character if locale set, we use strfrom/tolocal(). Now "hg tip" works.

encoding: add converter between native str and byte string This kind of encoding conversion is unavoidable on Python 3.

encoding: factor out unicode variants of from/tolocal() Unfortunately, these functions will be commonly used on Python 3.

py3: use next() to obtain next item from inner generator of generatorset .next attribute does not exist on Python 3. As this function seems to really care about the overhead of the Python interpreter, I follow the way of micro optimization.

py3: rewrite itervalues() as values() by importer I'm not a great fan of these importer magics, but this should be okay since "itervalues" seems as unique name as "iteritems".

py3: use portable way to stringify cache key of repoview

exewrapper: prefer HackableMercurial python if availbale Currently hg.exe will only try to load python27.dll from hg-python subdir if PYTHONHOME environment variable is not set. I think that it is better to check whether 'hg-python' subdir exists and load python from it in that case, regardless of environment. This allows for reliable approach of distributing Mercurial with its own Python.

import-checkers: split tests of the tool from running it on the source We did such splits for other tools already. The 'test-check-*.t' performs the check of the source code while the regular tests verifies the tools works. One of the benefit is that is provides a simple file to reuse in third party extensions.

py3: use bytestr wrapper in revsetlang.tokenize() This backs out 77270ec0cdd9 and wraps program by bytestr() instead.
