blackbox: avoid creating multiple file handles for a single log There are multiple ui objects in Mercurial that can relate to a repository, before this change, each one would have its own file pointer, which results in unfortunate logging behavior. Also, any log rotation results would be bad because only the active blackboxui object's file pointer would be refreshed. Note that this does not prevent two long running hg commands for the same repository from causing problems.

r9999 Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository

r9999 copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
