revert: distinguish between "check" and "backup" strategy
"check" behaves as backup did before. We check if the current file differs
from destination and we create a backup if it does. This is used for untracked
files that will be overwritten by formerly-deleted files. We have to do the manual
check since no status output can provide the content comparison.
"backup" is now doing unconditional backup. This can be used for files seen as
modified compared to both the target and the working directory. In such a case, we
know that the file differs from target without actually comparing any content.
This new "backup" strategy will be especially useful in the case of files added
between the target and the working directory -parent- with additional modifications
in the working directory -itself-. In that case we know we need to back it up, but we
cannot run the content check as the files does not exists in target.
revert: small refactoring in the way backup value are handled
The current backup value may have two different values:
1. Do not try to do backup
2. Do backup if applicable
We are about to move to:
1. Do not try to do backup
2. Do backup if applicable
3. Do backup in all cases
So we change the current values to make room for the new one.

parsers: fix Py2.4 argument parsing issue
Since
fa53d66b45a8, we were getting this strange message with Py2.4:
TypeError: argument 1 must be impossible<bad format char>, not int
..because we were using the 'n' type specifier introduced in 2.5.
It turns out that offset is actually a revision number index, which
ought to be an int anyway. So we store it in an int, use the 'i'
specifier, rely on Py_ParseTuple for range checking, and rename it to
avoid type confusion.
diff: document the nobinary option
Since
3fbef7ac26f0, we have a diff.nobinary option. This is handy, but
the only way I found out about it was by looking at the release notes
for 3.1, which is not something I normally do.
