hooks: provide access to transaction changes for internal hooks External hooks are skipped here as the environment often has a size limit in the low MBs and that can easily be reached by larger transactions. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8490

rust-regex: fix issues with regex anchoring and performance It turns out that the way I tried to work around `regex`'s behavior difference with `re2` and Python's `re` was 1) buggy and 2) much more complicated than needed. In a few words: `regex` adds `.*` on either side of patterns when no start or end anchor is present. My previous workaround put `^` or `$` for every pattern, which is wrong even without the other 2 bugs on top of it. Using `^(?:<patterns>)` right at the end of the `regex` path fixes the issue. I've opened an issue to get a build option instead: https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/issues/675 Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8506

diff: avoid going from contexts to nodes and back This will allow us to pass in-memory contexts that may not have a valid node to the diffing logic. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8503

setup: raise minimum Python version to 2.7.4 On older Python versions, Mercurial is not really usable because of https://bugs.python.org/issue10211. Recently someone reported a crash on the mailing list when running Mercurial on Python 2.7.3. There was consensus that fixing compatibility for a Python version more than 7 years old is not worth it. So, instead of making Mercurial crash with an obscure exception, this patch raises the minimum Python version to 2.7.4.

fsmonitor: coerce `clock` variable to byte-string (issue6321) Callers of `fsmonitor.state.setlastclock` pass their arguments wrapped in `pycompat.sysbytes` to ensure the value is a `bytes` on Python 3. However in `fsmonitor.poststatus.__call__`, if the return value of `getlastclock()` is `None`, we use the value of `fsmonitor.poststatus._startclock` instead, which is not converted to a byte string in the same manner. This commit converts the value of `startclock` to a byte string using `pycompat.sysbytes` in the constructor for `poststatus`, to avoid the "`str` + `bytes`" error from issue 6321.
