            Bug ID: 4064

           Summary: test-generaldelta.t is broken on OS X because du does
                    not support option -b
          Severity: bug
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Mac OS
          Reporter: simohe at besonet.ch
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 2.8-rc
         Component: Mercurial
           Product: Mercurial

The utility "du" seems not to support the option -b when running on OS X. This
is used in test-generaldelta.t (since introduction of test in e92650e39f1c
[1]).
The failure message can be seen at buildbot [2].
According to the man page, du -b displays the files real size (not on disc) in
bytes. I do not find an alternative for "-b" on the man page for apple [3].

Maybe we could use "ls -l" instead of du. Stat can also return the size, on
linux this is "stat -c %s", on OS X "stat -f %s".
