Fixes to support Python 2.6 again.

2016-10-24T14:02:31+00:00

Details:

- Added Python 2.6 again to .travis.yml (it was removed in commit 4486bcb).

- Replaced the use of dictionary comprehensions in `git/cmd.py` around
  line 800 with the code before that change (in commit 25a2ebf).
  Reason: dict comprehensions were introduced only in Python 2.7.

- Changed the import source for `SkipTest` and `skipIf` from `unittest.case`
  to first trying `unittest` and upon ImportError from `unittest2`.
  This was done in `git/util.py` and in several testcases.
  Reason: `SkipTest` and `skipIf` were introduced to unittest only
  in Python 2.7, and `unittest2` is a backport of `unittest` additions
  to Python 2.6.

- In git/test/lib/helper.py, fixed the definition of `assertRaisesRegex`
  to work on py26.

- For Python 2.6, added the `unittest2` dependency to `requirements.txt`
  and changed `.travis.yml` to install `unittest2`. Because git/util.py
  uses SkipTest from unittest/unittest2, the dependency could not be added
  to `test-requirements.txt`.

- Fixed an assertion in `git/test/test_index.py` to also allow
  a Python 2.6 specific exception message.

- In `is_cygwin_git()` in `git/util.py`, replaced `check_output()` with
  `Popen()`. It was added in Python 2.7.

- Enabled Python 2.6 for Windows:

  - Added Python 2.6 for MINGW in .appveyor.yml.

  - When defining `PROC_CREATIONFLAGS` in `git/cmd.py`, made use of certain
    win32 and subprocess flags that were introduced in Python 2.7, dependent
    on whether we run on Python 2.7 or higher.

  - In `AutoInterrupt.__del__()` in `git/cmd.py`, allowed for `os` not having
    `kill()`. `os.kill()` was added for Windows in Python 2.7 (For Linux, it
    existed in Python 2.6 already).

cygwin, appveyor, #533: Enable actual failures, hide certain 2+2 cases

2016-10-16T20:06:10+00:00

ci, deps: no PY26, ddt>=1.1.1, CIs `pip install test-requirements`

2016-10-16T00:46:33+00:00

+ Use environment-markers in requirement files (see
http://stackoverflow.com/a/33451105/548792).

appveyor, #533: enable CYGWIN TCs without failing

2016-10-14T15:43:17+00:00

- Cygwin TCs failing (start, no Cygwin specific code):
  - PY2: err: 44, fail: 0
  - PY3: err: 13, fail: 0

build: run codecov on Appveyor

2016-10-12T15:56:35+00:00

[travisci skip]

ci: print python/git versions before starting build
