infinitepush: open files in binary mode

This fixes the scary looking abort in test-infinitepush-ci.t when unbundling:

This was found by grepping for '"r', "'r", '"w' and "'w" after manually creating
a bundle from the same revision, diffing against the corrupt one, and seeing CRs
sprinkled around.  Sadly, the missing bookmarks are still a problem in the two
remaining test failures.

cHg
===

A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix.

Install:

 $ make
 $ make install

Usage:

 $ chg help                 # show help of Mercurial
 $ alias hg=chg             # replace hg command
 $ chg --kill-chg-daemon    # terminate background server

Environment variables:

Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be
changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially
handled:

 * configuration files are reloaded automatically by default.
 * CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the
   background command server.

The following variables are available for testing:

 * CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.
 * CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.
 * CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up
   connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60
