copies-tests: clarify the description of the EA/AE cases The previous description of the merge was just wrong. (It seems the result a non-updated copy-paste) Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8238

copies-tests: update the analysis of the BD/DB cases After thinking more about it, the current change in output between the two merges is not due to an ambiguity, it is introduce by a bug in merge/commit that record a wrong file history. Fixing the bug should fix the output. In the meantime, we have a wrong behavior. In practice the bug is not in the merge code (who does the right things), but in the commit code (who get confused when recording the new file revision).

copies-tests: swap two branch description They were swapped and now match their intended block. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8247

cleanup: run pyupgrade on our source tree to clean up varying things Built with: hg files 'set:**.py - mercurial/thirdparty/** - "contrib/python-zstandard/**" - hgext/fsmonitor/pywatchman/**' | xargs pyupgrade --keep-percent-format --keep-extraneous-parens and then blackened. pyupgrade comes from https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade with a patch to let me preserve extraneous parens (which we use for marking strings that shouldn't be translated), and lets us clean up a bunch of idioms that have cruftily accumulated over the years. # skip-blame no-op automated code cleanups Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8255

tests: avoid implicit conversion of str to unicode On Python 2, str.encode('utf-8') implicitly converts the string to unicode and then back to str. Using _sys2bytes() ensures that opt is only encoded on Python 3, where opt is unicode. Although contrived, before this change, a UnicodeDecodeError could be triggered on Python 2 when passing non-ascii values to --extra-config-opt.

tests: rename _bytespath() to _sys2bytes() and _strpath() to _sys2str() The names were not general enough because e.g. _strpath() was used for converting IP addresses.

tests: avoid implicit conversion of str to unicode On Python 2, str.encode('ascii') implicitly converts the string to unicode and then back to str. Since the converted value is a path, _bytespath can be used instead.

tests: avoid implicit conversion of str to unicode On Python 2, str.encode('ascii') implicitly converts the string to unicode and then back to str. Since the point of this expression is to convert a bool to a str, the '%r' conversion specifier can be used instead in the format string.

nodemap: warm the persistent nodemap on disk with debugupdatecache When appropriate, the nodemap cache file will be created. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8173

copies-tests: update to null after setup for output stability This avoid having '@' moving around in graph output when the graph evolves. after this change, graph evolution is still noisy, but less. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8236
