Nice!

The patch is not in ‘git format-patch’ format, which makes it more
tedious for us to deal with it.

I understand Git may not be your favorite VCS, but we’d be grateful if
you could facilitate our work.

I tried building it and it fails:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
starting phase `build'
running "python setup.py" with command "build" and parameters ()
setup.py with python3 needs --c2to3 (experimental)
phase `build' failed after 1 seconds
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Presumably Mercurial uses a different build system different from
“python setup.py”, no?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
