wireprotoserver: ensure that output stream gets flushed on exception
Previously flush was happening due to Python finalizer being run on
`BufferedWriter`. With upgrade to Python 3.11 this started randomly
failing.
My guess is that the finalizer on the raw `FileIO` object may
be running before the finalizer of `BufferedWriter` has a chance to run.
At any rate, since we're not relying on finalizers in the happy case
we should also not rely on them in case of exception.
Test null revisions (node 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000, aka rev -1)
in various circumstances.
Make an empty repo:
$ hg init a
$ cd a
$ hg files -r 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
[1]
$ hg files -r .
[1]
Add an empty commit (this makes the changelog refer to a null manifest node):
$ hg commit -m "init" --config ui.allowemptycommit=true
$ hg files -r .
[1]
Strip that empty commit (this makes the changelog file empty, as opposed to missing):
$ hg --config 'extensions.strip=' strip . > /dev/null
$ hg files -r .
