Issue #13930: Adds ability for 2to3 to write its output to a different
directory tree instead of overwriting the input files. Adds three command line options: -o/--output-dir, -W/--write-unchanged-files and --add-suffix. Feature backports into stable release branches for 2to3 are allowed by a special exemption: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2011-December/115089.html

+- Issue #13930: 2to3 is now able to write its converted output files to another
+ directory tree as well as copying unchanged files and altering the file
+ suffix. See its new -o, -W and --add-suffix options. This makes it more
+ useful in many automated code translation workflows.

- Issue #13628: python-gdb.py is now able to retrieve more frames in the Python
traceback if Python is optimized.
