chgserver: implement validate command validate will load the repo config and check if the server has up-to-date config to continue serve the client. In case it does not, the server will send instructions to the client about what to do next, including to retry with a different address or to unlink an outdated socket file to stop an old server.

templater: handle exception when applying map operator to non-iterable object Before this, "{noniterable % template}" raised an exception. This tries to provide a better indication for the common case, where a left-hand-side expression is a keyword.

templater: factor out thin helper that evaluates argument as string This function is trivial, but it can make it clear that args[i] is a (func, data) pair.

color: make label() template function stringify "expr" argument first Since label() should return a string (or a thunk to be evaluated to a string), this change is okay. This helps porting to evalstring() helper. See the next patch for details.

templater: fix shortest() to evaluate int argument and handle error

templater: fix pad() to evaluate int argument and handle error

templater: drop redundant type conversion when evaluating integer argument A function argument may be an integer. In this case, it isn't necessary to convert a value to string and back to integer. Because an argument may be an arbitrary object (e.g. date tuple), TypeError should be caught as well.

templater: factor out function that evaluates argument as integer We have more bare int()s that may raise ValueError or TypeError. This function will be used to fix them.

chgserver: use basename for socket symlink Previously we use full path and the symlink may point to outside (unsafe) world if the directory is moved. This patch fixes it by only linking to basename of the target. Therefore the symbolic link and socket files will always stay in the same directory.
