util: make hashlib import unconditional hashlib was added in Python 2.5. As far as I can tell, SHA-512 is always available in 2.6+. So move the hashlib import to the top of the file and remove the one-off handling of SHA-512.

encoding: use double backslash In Python 2, '\u' == '\\u'. However, in Python 3, '\u' results in: SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-1: truncated \uXXXX escape The minor change in this patch allows Python 3 to ast parse encoding.py.

encoding: use absolute_import

hg: establish function for performing post-share actions As part of writing an extension that wished to share an arbitrary piece of data among shared repos, I had to reimplement a significant part of hg.share in order to obtain localrepository instances for the source and destination. This patch establishes a function in hg.py that will be called after a share is performed. It is passed localrepository instances so extensions can easily perform additional actions at share time. We move hgrc and shared file writing there because this function is a logical place for it. A side effect of the refactor is writing of the shared file now occurs before updating. This seems more appropriate and shouldn't have any impact on real world behavior.
