patch.py: re-add the ability to use an external patch program This is now invoked by default only if ui.patch is set. Otherwise, we use our built-in patch. If that fails because it can't find any valid hunks, we'll fall back to trying the external patch command.

#!/bin/sh

hg init

hg co 0
echo "something else" > a
hg commit -m branch2 -d "1000000 0"
