hgweb: break templater -> templater circular reference The problem were some functions passed in the "defaults" argument during the templater creation which use "self.t" directly. This creates the cycle: hgweb object -> templater object -> defaults dict -> footer function -> hgweb object Instead of completely avoding the cycle, we break it after using the templater.

#!/bin/sh

hg init

mkdir alpha
touch alpha/one
mkdir beta
touch beta/two

hg add alpha/one beta/two
hg ci -m "start" -d "1000000 0"

echo 1 > alpha/one
echo 2 > beta/two

echo EVERYTHING
hg diff --nodates

echo BETA ONLY
hg diff --nodates beta

echo INSIDE BETA
cd beta
hg diff --nodates .
