py3: have registrar process docstrings in bytes
Mixing bytes and unicode creates a mess. Do things in bytes as possible.
New sysbytes() helper only takes care of ASCII characters, but avoids raising
nasty unicode exception. This is the same design principle as sysstr().
$ hg init
$ echo a > a
$ hg add a
$ hg commit -m test
Do we ever miss a sub-second change?:
$ for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20; do
> hg co -qC 0
> echo b > a
> hg st
> done
