mq: backup local changes in qpush --force qpush help says the following about --force: 1- When -f/--force is applied, all local changes in patched files will be lost. 2- Apply on top of local changes In practice, qpush --force will attempt to apply the patch on top of local changes, and on success will merge them in the pushed patch. On failure, patched files will contain a mix of local changes (where the patch could not apply) and a mix of patch changes (were it applied). So, local changes are less lost than entangled with a mass of other changes. This patch makes qpush --force backup all locally modified files touched by the next patch being applied. When multiple patches are being pushed, this logic is repeated for each patch. Note that modified but successfully patched files are preserved as well.

mq: backup local changes in qpop --force (issue3433)

pager: remove quiet flag With the pager running as a child process, exiting the pager doesn't result in a broken pipe message. To distinguish the exit broken pipe code from a mercurial abort we register the default action for SIGPIPE. This results in a 141 exit code instead of a 255. On windows SIGPIPE doesn't exists and a ValueError will be thrown.

pager: preserve Hg's exit code (and fix Windows support) (issue3225) This changes how the pager extension invokes the pager. Prior to this change, the extension would fork Hg and exec the pager in the parent process. This loses Hg exit code, and it doesn't work on Windows. Now the pager is invoked using the subprocess library, and an atexit handler is registered that makes Hg wait for the pager to exit before it exits itself. Note that if you exit the pager before Hg is done running, you'll get an exit code of 255, which is caused by Python blowing up due to a broken pipe. If you set pager.quiet=True, you'll get the OS-level return code of 141.
