typing: make `bundlerepository` subclass `localrepository` while type checking...
typing: make `bundlerepository` subclass `localrepository` while type checking Currently, `mercurial/bundlerepo.py` is excluded from pytype, mostly because it complains that various `ui` and `vfs` fields in `localrepository` are missing. (`bundlerepository` dynamically subclasses `localrepository` when it is instantiated, so it works at runtime.) This makes that class hierarchy known to pytype. Having a protocol for `Repository` is probably the right thing to do, but that will be a lot of work and this still reflects the class at runtime. Subclassing also has the benefit of making sure any method overrides have a matching signature, so maybe this is a situation where we do both of these things. (I'm not sure how clear the diagnostics are if a class *almost* implements a protocol, but is missing a method argument or similar.) The subclassing is not done outside of type checking runs to avoid any side effects on already complex code.

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.
