[Python-apps-team] Bug#506694: mercurial: hgwebdir.cgi goes into endless loop when viewing moved files

[Michael Renner]

Package: mercurial
Version: 1.0.1-5.1
Severity: normal

I tried viewing a moved/renamed with hgwebdir.cgi which results in an endless loop of the serving python process (100% CPU utilization). Trying the same with debian etch + mercurial from BPO (1.0.1-5.1~bpo40+1) works fine.

The repository in question can be found at https://workbench.amd.co.at/hg/snapshotter2/, the revision which causes the problem is "changeset 10: 9a66bf787219", the problem is triggered when one tries to view the file "snapshotter".
