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

echo a > a
hg ci -d '0 0' -Ama

hg an a

echo "[ui]" >> $HGRCPATH
echo "strict=True" >> $HGRCPATH

hg an a
hg annotate a

echo % should succeed - up is an alias, not an abbreviation

hg up
