py3: cast character set to bytes The returned value from this function is eventually fed into email.charset.Charset.__init__. However, the standard library appears to handle both string types in Python 2 and 3. So there shouldn't be any problem returning a bytes here.

py3: cast decode() argument to system string The actual types here may be mixed due to string literals and variables from other modules. So a cast is necessary. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2166

py3: avoid changing dictionary during iteration dict.items() and friends are iterators/views in Python 3. You aren't allowed to mutate the underlying dictionary when iterating on these views. So iterate over a copy of things. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2164

py3: use raw string for key in **kwargs Otherwise Python 3 is unhappy. We only set a single key here. So I don't think pycompat.strkwargs() is necessary. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2163

py3: preserve chunks as an iterable of bytes patch.diffstat() returns a bytes. util.chunkbuffer() expects an iterable of bytes. Feeding it a single bytes instance on Python 3 will iterate the characters as integers. This blows up util.chunkbuffer. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2162
