localrepo: use self.wvfs.islink directly We are about to deprecate the helper function.

py3: convert opts back to bytes for status

parsers: handle refcounting of "parents" consistently Py_None can be refcounted like any other Python object. So do that.

py3: make py3 compat.iterbytestr simpler and faster With Python 3.4.3, timit says 11.9 usec-> 6.44 usec. With Python 3.6.0, timeit says 14.1 usec -> 9.55 usec.

py3: optimize py3 compat.bytechr using Struct.pack With Python 3.4.3, timeit says 0.437 usec -> 0.0685 usec. With Python 3.6, timeit says 0.157 usec -> 0.0907 usec. So it's faster on both versions, but the speedup varies a lot. Thanks to Gregory Szorc for the suggestion.

tests: properly drop back to root dir in test-status.t

dirstate: use list comprehension to get a list of keys We have used dict.keys() which returns a dict_keys() object instead of list on Python 3. So this patch replaces that with list comprehension which works both on Python 2 and 3.

match: slice over bytes to get the byteschr instead of ascii value

match: make regular expression bytes to prevent TypeError

scmutil: make function name bytes in class filecache func.__name__ returns unicodes and this leads to keyerror when we try to do filecache[''] by passing bytes.

localrepo: deprecate 'wfile' The method had very few users and the modern form is shorter. So let us deprecates another method of the localrepo class.

eol: use 'wvfs' instead of 'wfile' Method is about to be deprecated and the modern form is shorter.

localrepo: use 'wvfs' instead of 'wfile' Method is about to be deprecated and the modern form is shorter.

tagmerge: use 'wvfs' instead of 'wfile' Method is about to be deprecated and the modern form is shorter.

gpg: use 'wvfs' instead of 'wfile' Method is about to be deprecated and the modern form is shorter.

test: add a basic 'test-check-pylint.t' We add a minimal check using pylint for one case we knows we care about: "mutable default" argument. We'll likely extend this over time to cover other useful checks but this is a good starting point.

localrepo: don't use mutable default argument value Caught by pylint.

httpclient: don't use mutable default argument value Caught by pylint.

largefiles: don't use mutable default argument value Caught by pylint.

hgk: don't use mutable default argument value Caught by pylint.

convert: don't use mutable default argument value Caught by pylint.

mq: don't use mutable default argument value Caught by pylint.

pager: if old pager extensions is enabled, respect pager.attend This patch makes us respect pager.attend again if the extension is enabled. It also brings back the default attend list, so e.g. summary is not paged by default, just like it used to be before pager was moved into core.

tests: duplicate test for pager for old extension and for in-core pager When the old pager extension is enabled, I think we should try to be as BC as reasonable. To help with that, this patch brings back test-pager.t as of 65a3b4d67a65 (pager: add a test of --pager=no functionality, 2017-02-06), but under the name test-pager-legacy.t However, since the behavior has changed in a few cases (notably by no longer respecting pager.attend), the file is modified to work with the current version. We will recover some lost BC in coming patches. Also, to make sure the in-core pager does not depend on the pager extension being enabled, this patch disables the extension in test-pager.t. It turns out that pager.attend-$cmd was only supported when the pager extension was enabled, so the tests are updated to reflect that. We will need to decide what to do with these.
