hgweb: create dedicated type for WSGI responses...
hgweb: create dedicated type for WSGI responses We have refactored the request side of WSGI processing into a dedicated type. Now let's do the same thing for the response side. We invent a ``wsgiresponse`` type. It takes an instance of a request (for consulation) and the WSGI application's "start_response" handler. The type basically allows setting the HTTP status line, response headers, and the response body. The WSGI application calls sendresponse() to start sending output. Output is emitted as a generator to be fed through the WSGI application. According to PEP 3333, this is the preferred way for output to be transmitted. (Our legacy ``wsgirequest`` exposed a write() to send data. We do not wish to support this API because it isn't recommended by PEP 3333.) The wire protocol code has been ported to use the new API.

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.
