chg: force-set LC_CTYPE on server start to actual value from the environment Python 3.7+ will "coerce" the LC_CTYPE variable in many instances, and this can cause issues with chg being able to start up. D7550 attempted to fix this, but a combination of a misreading of the way that python3.7 does the coercion and an untested state (LC_CTYPE being set to an invalid value) meant that this was still not quite working. This change will cause differences between chg and hg: hg will have the LC_CTYPE environment variable coerced, while chg will not. This is unlikely to cause any detectable behavior differences in what Mercurial itself outputs, but it does have two known effects: - When using hg, the coerced LC_CTYPE will be passed to subprocesses, even non-python ones. Using chg will remove the coercion, and this will not happen. This is arguably more correct behavior on chg's part. - On macOS, if you set your region to Brazil but your language to English, this isn't representable in locale strings, so macOS sets LC_CTYPE=UTF-8. If this value is passed along when ssh'ing to a non-macOS machine, some functions (such as locale.setlocale()) may raise an exception due to an unsupported locale setting. This is most easily encountered when doing an interactive commit/split/etc. when using ui.interface=curses. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8039

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
