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 ]

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 ]
