checkcopies: add an inline comment about the '_related' call This helps understanding the flow of the function.

checkcopies: minor change to comment This helped me understand the refactoring so this must be helpful.

checkcopies: rename 'ca' to 'base' This variable was named after the common ancestor. It is actually the merge base that might differ from the common ancestor in the graft case. We rename the variable before a larger refactoring to clarify the situation.

bisect: extra a small initialisation outside of a loop Having initialisation done during the first iteration is cute, but can be avoided.

pycompat: only accept a bytestring filepath in Python 2

py3: use raw strings in line continuation (convert ext) Our py2 to py3 string translations marks those as bytestrings.

py3: namedtuple takes unicode (journal ext) namedtuple usage consistent with changelog.py:141

debuginstall: use %d instead of %s for formatting an int % formatting on bytes on Python 3 is pickier about which % character we specify.

py3: test to check which commands run This test helps us to keep track on the commands which runs to Python 3. The full traceback is hidden. Thanks to Augie and Martijn to wrap it up in four lines.

bisect: build a displayer only once There is multiple spot using this, building it early will help to extract more of the logic into the bisect module.

bisect: factor commonly update sequence For now, This remains a closure in the module to avoid circular import with used module.

bisect: move check_state into the bisect module Now that the function is simpler, we resume our quest to move the logic into the bisect module. In the process, we add basic documentation.

bisect: simplify conditional in 'check_state' Now that extra code about "updating" flag have been removed, we can simplify the condition flow and remove a level.

bisect: remove code about "update-flag" in check_state Now that the flag dedicated to updating the flag are handled earlier, we do not need to handle them in the 'check_state' function.

bisect: rename 'check_code' to match our naming scheme We need to do it early, otherwise 'check-commit' will complain every time we touch it.

bisect: minor movement of code handle flag updating state The code flag handling is quite complicated, we are moving code around to prepare further simplification.

test-clone: discard lock-related messages We can't predict where those will show up and they're not super-important for the contents of this particular test, so just drop them. Further reduces the flakiness of the test to zero.

test-clone: fix some instability in pooled clone race condition test Healthy output (one log file mentioning "existing pooled" and one mentioning "new pooled") will now print in a stable order, but unhealthy output will print some sort of error. This reduces the flakiness of the test from 55% to 38%. My next patch makes it completely stable.

py3: add an os.fsencode backport to ease path handling

py3: a second argument to open can't be bytes This fixes open(filename, 'r'), open(filename, 'w'), etc. calls. In Python 3, that second argument *must* be a string, you can't use bytes. The fix is the same as used with getattr() (where the second argument must also always be a string); in the tokenizer, where we detect calls, if there is something that looks like a call to open (and is not an attribute, so the previous token is not a "." dot) then make sure that that second argument is not converted to a `bytes` object instead. There is some remaining issue where the current transformer will also rewrite open(f('foo')). However this also affect function for which we perform similar rewrite ('getattr', 'setattr', 'hasattr', 'safehasattr') and will be dealt with in a follow up.

py3: make check-py3-compat.py import importlib only if necessary importlib isn't available on Python 2.6, and it isn't necessary for Py2 checks.

templater: handle division by zero in arithmetic For now, just turn it to an abort.

templater: provide arithmetic operations on integers The termwidth template keyword is of limited use without some way to ensure that margins are respected. Provide a full set of arithmetic operators (four basic operations plus the mod function, defined to match Python's // for division), so that you can create termwidth based layouts that match the user's terminal size

eol: store and reuse pattern matchers instead of creating in tight loop More "right" and more efficient.

eol: fix variable naming - call it _eolmatch instead of _eolfile It is not the file but a match object based on it.

parsers: move PyInt aliasing out of util.h The PyInt aliasing is only used by parsers.c. Since we don't want to encourage the use of PyInt parsing, move the aliasing to parsers.c.

osutil: use PyLongObject on Python 3 for listdir_slot This code looks performance sensitive. So let's retain PyIntObject on Python 2 and use PyLongObject explicitly on Python 3.

osutil: use PyLongObject in recvfds PyIntObject doesn't exist in Python 3. While PyIntObject is preferred on Python 2 because it is a fixed capacity and faster, the difference between PyIntObject and PyLongObject for scenarios where performance isn't critical or the caller isn't performing type checking shouldn't be relevant. So change recvfds to return a list of longs instead of ints on Python 2.
