py3: make sure encoding.encoding is a bytes variable encoding.encoding returns unicodes when locale.getpreferredencoding() is used to get the preferred encoding. This patch fixes that.

chg: remove locks See the previous two patches for the reason. The advantage is a simplified code base and better throughput when starting multiple servers with multiple confighashes. The disadvantage is starting multiple servers in parallel with a single confighash will waste some CPU time, which is probably fine in common use-cases. This makes it easier to switch to relative paths to support long unix domain socket paths.

chg: start server at a unique address See the previous patch for motivation. Previously, the server is started at a globally shared address. This patch appends pid to the address so it becomes unique. Note: with Linux pid namespace, the address may be non-unique, but it does not affect correctness of chg - chg client will receive an redirection and that's it.

chgserver: truncate base address at "." for hash address Previously, the hash address is just appending "-$HASH" to base address. This patch makes it truncate the basename address at "." before appending "-$HASH". This makes it possible to spawn new servers in a racy situation and the client could be sure the server it connects is the new server just spawned. This is a step towards removing the lock. One of the functionalities of the lock is to make sure the connect will connect to a server it just created: 1. start server --address foo 2. connect to foo # wish "foo" is the server just started With this change, the client could do: 1. start server --address foo.tmp$PID 2. connect to foo.tmp$PID # is the server just started (note: if it is not, it does not affect correctness - linux pid namespace is not a concern here) 3. rename foo.tmp$PID to foo Another functionality of the lock is to avoid starting multiple servers with a same confighash in parallel. But that also prevents starting multiple servers with different confighashes in parallel.

ui: do not translate empty configsource() to 'none' (API) It should be processed when displaying data, so we can get "source": "" in JSON output.

py3: replace os.sep with pycompat.ossep (part 4 of 4)

py3: replace os.sep with pycompat.ossep (part 3 of 4)

py3: replace os.sep with pycompat.ossep (part 2 of 4) This part also replaces some chunks of os.sep with pycompat.ossep.

py3: replace os.sep with pycompat.ossep (part 1 of 4) os.sep returns unicodes on Python 3. We have pycompat.ossep which returns bytes. This patch is a part of 4 patch series which will replace all the occurrences of os.sep to pycompat.ossep

py3: replace os.pathsep with pycompat.ospathsep os.pathsep returns unicode on Python 3. We already have pycompat.ospathsep which return bytes on Python 3. This patch replaces all the occurrences of os.pathsep in the codebase (excluding tests) to pycompat.ospathsep.

py3: use %d instead of %s for integers Python 3 returns an error if we use %s as type specifiers for integers.

help: make multirevs just an alias for revsets The multirevs topis seems to be covered well by the revsets topic, so just make it an alias and remove multirevs.txt.

context: correct metadataonlyctx's parameter It's "originalctx", not "path" as Yuya pointed in [1]. [1]: www.mercurial-scm.org/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2016-December/091508.html
