Description
Summary
With large changesets fcm_bdiff can fill the buffer, causing a hang - this is often seen with a non-appearing trac.log. This ticket adds a timeout to the fcm_bdiff subprocess, preventing the hang. This has been tested on a Apps branch with a large changeset.
Changes
Add timeout to fcm_bdiff subprocess command. Also changes from subprocess.popen to subprocess.run which is a nicer interface.
Dependency
Using subprocess.run with text=True, means fcm_bdiff now requires python3.9.
