copy/rename to a removed destination file When the destination of a copy or rename operation has been marked for removal, we need to restore it before we overwrite it with the new content. This also handles the case of idempotent renames, i.e. hg rename "a" "b" hg rename "b" "a"

#!/usr/bin/env python
#
# An example CGI script to use hgweb, edit as necessary

import cgitb, os, sys
cgitb.enable()

# sys.path.insert(0, "/path/to/python/lib") # if not a system-wide install
from mercurial import hgweb

h = hgweb.hgweb("/path/to/repo", "repository name")
h.run()
