contextlib._GeneratorContextManager.__exit__ includes a special case to deal with
PEP 479 RuntimeErrors created when `StopIteration` is thrown into the context
manager body.
Previously this check was too permissive, and undid one level of chaining on *all*
RuntimeError instances, not just those that wrapped a StopIteration instance.

The reference to administrative data was confusing to readers,
so this simplifies the note to explain that deep copying may copy
more then you intended, such as data that you expected to be
shared between copies.

* bpo-29942: Fix the use of recursion in itertools.chain.from_iterable.
Fix the use of recursion in itertools.chain.from_iterable. Using recursion
is unnecessary, and can easily cause stack overflows, especially when
building in low optimization modes or with Py_DEBUG enabled.
(cherry picked from commit 5466d4af5f)
The presence of the ``--enable-optimizations`` flag is indicated by the
value of ``$enableval``, but the configure script was checking ``$withval``,
resulting in the ``--enable-optimizations`` flag being effectively ignored.

* bpo-29861: release references to multiprocessing Pool tasks (#743)
* bpo-29861: release references to multiprocessing Pool tasks
Release references to tasks, their arguments and their results as soon
as they are finished, instead of keeping them alive until another task
arrives.
* Comments in test

* Fix Misc/NEWS (hopefully)
Directory and zipfile execution previously added
the parent directory of the directory or zipfile
as sys.path[0] and then subsequently overwrote
it with the directory or zipfile itself.
This caused problems in isolated mode, as it
overwrote the "stdlib as a zip archive" entry
in sys.path, as the parent directory was
never added.
The attempted fix to that issue in bpo-29319
created the opposite problem in *non*-isolated
mode, by potentially leaving the parent
directory on sys.path instead of overwriting it.
This change fixes the root cause of the problem
by removing the whole "add-and-overwrite" dance
for sys.path[0], and instead simply never adds
the parent directory to sys.path in the first
place.

* bpo-27593: Get SCM build info from git instead of hg. (#446)
sys.version and the platform module python_build(),
python_branch(), and python_revision() functions now use
git information rather than hg when building from a repo.
Based on original patches by Brett Cannon and Steve Dower.
