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
touch a
hg add a
hg ci -m "a" -d "1000000 0"

echo 123 > b
hg add b
hg diff --nodates

hg diff --nodates -r tip

echo foo > a
hg diff --nodates

hg diff -r ""
hg diff -r tip -r ""
