py3: have bytes version of sys.argv sys.argv returns unicodes on Python 3. We need a bytes version for us. There was also a python bug/feature request which wanted then to implement one. They rejected and it is quoted in one of the comments that we can use fsencode() to get a bytes version of sys.argv. Though not sure about its correctness. Link to the comment: http://bugs.python.org/issue8776#msg217416 After this patch we will have pycompat.sysargv which will return us bytes version of sys.argv. If this patch goes in, i will like to make transformer rewrite sys.argv with pycompat.argv because there are lot of occurences.

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).
