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

py3: use b'' for changegroup version literals Test extensions aren't currently loaded with our custom module importer. # skip-blame b prefix Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2161

py3: use b'' in inline extension # skip-blame b prefix Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2160

py3: use hex(hasher.digest()) .hexdigest() returns a system str. .digest() consistently returns bytes. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2159

py3: use string for "close" value in commit extras The extras dict on commits has string keys and values. Before this commit, we passed "close" as an integer, which Python 2 gladly coerced to a string during a %s formatting in the bowels of changelog.py.
