Thanks. Pushed the stable version here:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/7880af7a3b3f

Marking as Ready For Test.

The input duplication is because dec2bin and dec2hex allow negative numbers
but dec2base doesn't. I'll see how to merge that...

For the default branch, I am considering a feature addition to allow dec2base
to handle both negative inputs and non-integer inputs, aiming to be fully
backwards-compatible with existing use. The trial patch is here:
https://octave.discourse.group/t/negative-and-fractional-inputs-for-dec2base/3326
but it didn't get any feedback earlier.
