cmdserver: forcibly use L channel to read password input (issue3161)...
cmdserver: forcibly use L channel to read password input (issue3161) Command server is designed to use the channel protocol even if the server process is accessible to tty, whereas vanilla hg should be able to read password from tty in that case. So it isn't enough to swap sys.stdin: # works only if the server process is detached from the console sys.stdin = self.fin getpass.getpass('') sys.stdin = oldin or test isatty: # vanilla hg can't talk to tty if stdin is redirected if self._isatty(self.fin): return getpass.getpass('') else: ... Since ui.nontty flag is undocumented and command-server channels don't provide isatty(), this change won't affect the other uses of ui._isatty(). issue3161 also suggests to provide some context of messages. I think it can be implemented by using the generic templating function.

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
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
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]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
