ssh: skip noise generated by remote shell we send a dummy command with known output to get in sync

work around python bug on solaris 10. write to file opened mode 'a+' should write to end of file and update offset pointer, but does not (solaris 10 has python 2.3.3). fix is to always seek.

more windows fixes.

clean up lee's windows testpid fix.

Fixes to testpid() for Windows. Handle processes that no longer exist and processes that belong to another user. Enables the lock breaking changes from d314a89fa4f1 and subsequently "fixes" the left over locks reported in bug 112.

Use [ x = y ] instead of [ x == y ] in shell scripts.

New option -i/--ignored for 'hg status' to show ignored files. localrepo.changes() now returns an additional list of ignored files if it is called with show_ignored=True.

Fix hg push and hg push -r sometimes creating new heads without --force. Fixing issue179. The algorithm checks if there not more new heads on the remote side than heads which become non-heads due to getting children. Pushing this repo: m /\ 3 3a| |/ / 2 2a |/ 1 to a repo only having 1, 2 and 3 didn't abort requiring --force before. Added test cases for this and some doc strings for used methods.

merge with crew.

add merge command. means same thing as "update -m". repo.addchangegroup method now returns number of heads modified and added, so command line can tell whether update or merge needed. this makes tiny change to ssh wire protocol, but change is backwards compatible. pull command now returns 0 if no changes to pull.
