pure: use string for exception in the pure version of base85 Without this change, running the test with python3 and --pure gives the following error:: --- /home/marmoute/src/mercurial-dev/tests/test-import-git.t +++ /home/marmoute/src/mercurial-dev/tests/test-import-git.t.err @@ -518,7 +518,7 @@ > > EOF applying patch from stdin - abort: could not decode "binary2" binary patch: bad base85 character at position 6 + abort: could not decode "binary2" binary patch: b'bad base85 character at position 6' [255] $ hg revert -aq To make the cext implementation, we use a "native" string for the exception. This fix the test failure.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
