util.system: compare fileno to see if it needs stdout redirection Future patches will reopen stdout to be line-buffered, so sys.stdout may be different object than sys.__stdout__.

exchange: move stream clone logic into pull code path Stream clones are a special case of clones. Clones are a special case of pull. Most of the logic for deciding what to do at pull time is in exchange.py. It makes sense for the stream clone determination to live there as well. This patch moves the calling of the stream clone code into pull(). The checks in streamclone.canperformstreamclone() ensure that we don't perform a stream clone unless it is possible. A future patch will convert maybeperformstreamclone() to accept a pullop to make it consistent with everything else in pull(). It will also grow some functionality (in case you doubted the necessity of a 4 line function).
