procutil: make stream detection in make_line_buffered more correct and strict In make_line_buffered(), we don’t want to wrap the stream if we know that lines get flushed to the underlying raw stream already. Previously, the heuristic was too optimistic. It assumed that any stream which is not an instance of io.BufferedIOBase doesn’t need wrapping. However, there are buffered streams that aren’t instances of io.BufferedIOBase, like Mercurial’s own winstdout. The new logic is different in two ways: First, only for the check, if unwraps any combination of WriteAllWrapper and winstdout. Second, it skips wrapping the stream only if it is an instance of io.RawIOBase (or already wrapped). If it is an instance of io.BufferedIOBase, it gets wrapped. In any other case, the function raises an exception. This ensures that, if an unknown stream is passed or we add another wrapper in the future, we don’t wrap the stream if it’s already line buffered or not wrap the stream if it’s not line buffered. In fact, this was already helpful during development of this change. Without it, I possibly would have forgot that WriteAllWrapper needs to be ignored for the check, leading to unnecessary wrapping if stdout is unbuffered. The alternative would have been to always wrap unknown streams. However, I don’t think that anyone would benefit from being less strict. We can expect streams from the standard library to be subclassing either io.RawIOBase or io.BufferedIOBase, so running Mercurial in the standard way should not regress by this change. Py2exe might replace sys.stdout and sys.stderr, but that currently breaks Mercurial anyway and also these streams don’t claim to be interactive, so this function is not called for them.

== New Features ==

 * `hg purge`/`hg clean` can now delete ignored files instead of
   untracked files, with the new -i flag.

 * `hg pull` now has a `--confirm` flag to prompt before applying changes.
   Config option `pull.confirm` is also added for that.

 * `hg log` now defaults to using an '%' symbol for commits involved
    in unresolved merge conflicts. That includes unresolved conflicts
    caused by e.g. `hg update --merge` and `hg graft`. '@' still takes
    precedence, so what used to be marked '@' still is.

 * New `conflictlocal()` and `conflictother()` revsets return the
   commits that are being merged, when there are conflicts. Also works
   for conflicts caused by e.g. `hg graft`.

 * `hg copy --forget` can be used to unmark a file as copied.

 * The `format.revlog-compression` configuration entry now accept a list. The
   first available option will be used. for example setting::

     [format]
     revlog-compression=zstd, zlib

   Will use `zstd` compression for new repositories is available, and will
   simply fall back to `zlib` if not.

 * `hg debugmergestate` output is now templated, which may be useful
   e.g. for IDEs that want to help the user resolve merge conflicts.


== New Experimental Features ==

 * `hg copy` now supports a `--at-rev` argument to mark files as
   copied in the specified commit. It only works with `--after` for
   now (i.e., it's only useful for marking files copied using non-hg
   `cp` as copied).

 * Use `hg copy --forget --at-rev REV` to unmark already committed
   copies.

== Bug Fixes  ==

 * Fix server exception when concurrent pushes delete the same bookmark

 * Prevent pushes of divergent bookmarks (foo@remote)

 * The push error "remote repository changed while pushing - please
   try again" now only happens when a concurrent push changed related
   heads (instead of when a concurrent pushed any revision).


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * When `hg rebase` pauses for merge conflict resolution, the working
   copy will no longer have the rebased node as a second parent. You
   can use the new `conflictparents()` revset for finding the other
   parent during a conflict.

 * `hg rebase` now accepts repeated `--source` and `--base`
   arguments. For example, `hg rebase --source 'A + B'` is equivalent
   to `hg rebase --source A --source B`. This is a
   backwards-incompatible change because it will break overriding an
   alias `myrebase = rebase --source A` by `hg myrebase --source B`
   (it will now rebase `(A + B)::` instead of `B::`).

 * `hg recover` does not verify the validity of the whole repository
   anymore. You can pass `--verify` or call `hg verify` if necessary.

 * `hg debugmergestate` output format changed. Let us know if that is
   causing you problems and we'll roll it back.

 * Resolved merge conflicts are now cleared by `hg commit` even if the
   working copy has no changes.


== Internal API Changes ==

 * The deprecated `ui.progress()` has now been deleted. Please use
   `ui.makeprogress()` instead.

 * `hg.merge()` now takes a `ctx` instead of the previous `repo` and
   `node` arguments.

 * `hg.merge()` has lost its `abort` argument. Please call
   `hg.abortmerge()` directly instead.

 * `hg.merge()` has lost its `mergeforce` argument. It should have
   only ever been called with the same value as the `force` argument.

 * The `*others` argument of `cmdutil.check_incompatible_arguments()`
   changed from being varargs argument to being a single collection.
