[DRE-maint] Bug#644964: redmine: Redmine's mercurial support is broken in squeeze

[Paul Dwerryhouse]

Package: redmine
Version: 1.0.1-2
Severity: normal


When using the mercurial as a repository for a redmine project in squeeze,
the repository browser doesn't show the size / revision / age / author for
any of the files (instead, it just shows '?') and it does not show a list
of latest revisions at the bottom of the screen.

In Apache's error log (using fcgid) the following error appears:

abort:  not under root
abort:  not under root

I have identically configured redmine instances on both squeeze and wheezy,
and the version in wheezy is not having this problem, although it still fails
to show the size of the files.

(I also have another system configured using the redmine package from Ubuntu
lucid, which appears to be built from the Debian package, and it does not
have any of these problems).
