hgweb: don't point file links at tip hash where it doesn't make sense...
hgweb: don't point file links at tip hash where it doesn't make sense Some pages, e.g. bookmarks, help and summary don't have a meaningful revision context: they always either show information about tip or about the whole repo (and not about any specific changeset). And error pages can just show hgweb error messages, not related to any repo or changeset. Having a hash in the links worked (even when '{node|short}' resolved to an empty string on error pages), but seeing pages without revision context provide links with hashes is a bit confusing (unless you keep current tip hash in your head at all times) and not consistent with other template styles and other links on the same page: they don't have a hash. Let's just link to '/file', which is equal to '/file/tip'.

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
