hgweb: consume generator inside context manager (issue4756) If code inside a context manager returns a generator, the context manager exits before the generator is iterated. hgweb was using a context manager to control thread safe access to a localrepository instance. But it was returning a generator, so there was a race condition between a previous request streaming a response to the client and a new request obtaining the released but in use repository. By iterating the generator inside the context manager, we ensure we don't release the repo instance until after the response has finished. With this change, hgweb finally appears to have full localrepository isolation between threads. I can no longer reproduce the 2 exceptions reported in issue4756. test-hgweb-non-interactive.t has been modified to consume the output of calling into a WSGI application. Without this, execution of the WSGI application stalls because of the added yield statement.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
