blackbox: flush output file descriptor Without this, when there are multiple ui views, each blackbox will have its own file handle, and the logging will be in a really bad order. Also, because of the way blackbox works, it never closes its file handles, which means the last output before exit is often lost.

Without this svn will not detect workspace changes."""
