replace usage of os.popen() with util.popen()
To make this possible, I added a mode parameter to both implementations of
util.popen(), defaulting to 'r' (as it does in the Python stdlib).
#!/bin/sh
hg init
echo % should fail
hg add .hg/00changelog.i
mkdir a
echo a > a/a
hg ci -Ama
ln -s a b
echo b > a/b
echo % should fail
hg add b/b
echo % should succeed
hg add b
echo % should still fail - maybe
hg add b/b
exit 0
