cmdutil: add a missing byte prefix to string introduce in 976b26bdd0d8 The change is missing a the `b'foo'` prefix to make it a bytestring. This lead to a traceback in some third party extension. It is unclear to me why the Mercurial test pass without it. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D9974

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
