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
python -c 'print "confuse str.splitlines\nembedded\rnewline"' > a
hg ci -Ama -d '1 0'
echo clean diff >> a
hg ci -mb -d '2 0'
hg diff -r0 -r1
