Summary

This is patch (2/2), hence must be there in the repo after 1/2, which is at https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6356

The current diff being used by tests upon failing is not very good. Sometimes there is a lot of redundancy.

To see for yourself, follow these steps:

  1. Download this bundle : http://bit.ly/2IDgJFU
$ hg clone https://www.mercurial-scm.org/hg
$ cd hg/
$ hg unbundle af8efb83e1d6.hg
$ hg up a1e70c1dbec0^
$ g revert --all --rev a1e70c1dbec0
$ hg revert -i tests/test-bookmarks-pushpull.t # revert only the last three hunks (press 'n' for the first 8, and 'y' for the last three)
$ cd tests
$ hg diff --rev a1e70c1dbec0 # nice output from Mercurial
$ ./run-test.py test-bookmarks-pushpull.t # poor output from the test runner

If you couldn't follow those steps, you can simply check the diffs here:

Tests uses _unified_diff based on difflib.py . The output isn't great!

Mercurial's diff uses mdiff which gives better diffs.
This patch uses mdiff's unidiff function to generate the diff for the failed tests.

The commit message has diff which confuses hg import. You need to indent those diffs.

Also, remove the pastebin links as they are not required since we have diffs.

This link asks me to login. So definitely not a good link to put in commit message.
