run-tests: test for os.altsep instead of os.name when checking \ for / This tells more explicitly what it is about [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: replace popen locking with a noop _cleanup handler on py24 This also avoids the race condition, and isn't detrimental to job scheduling. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: only lock Popen wait/poll on python 2.4 It can cause scheduling bubbles and is not necessary on newer pythons. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: lock popen wait/poll In python2.4, any call to Popen() may attempt to wait on any active process, and wait is not thread-safe. Make it thread-safe. See http://bugs.python.org/issue1731717 for details. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: patch over py2.4 proc.wait() race [ original upstream message ]

cleanup: drop unused variables and an unused import [ original upstream message ]

tests: AIX can't handle negative date in test-dirstate.t test-dirstate.t fails on AIX in the absurd date test. AIX touch errors on any date prior to 1970. AIX mktime() gives an error on such dates, so the problem is deeper than touch and attempts to work around touch in Python failed. Give up. Add an AIX test to hghave and skip the absurd date test on AIX. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: when interrupted report time in failure message When --time is specified, the interruption message of an interrupted test is extended with the time the test has run INTERRUPTED: /path/to/tests/test-example.t (after 513 seconds) [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: report interrupted tests When the test run is aborted, a message is printed for each interrupted test. This is helpful when a test is hanging. example failure message: INTERRUPTED: /path/to/tests/test-example.t The message can appear before or after the line with the number of tests [ original upstream message ]
