hgweb: handle None from templatedir() equally bad in webcommands.py The following paragraph is based just on my reading of the code; I have not tried to test it. Before my recent work on templates in frozen binaries, it seems both `hgwebdir_mod.py` and `webcommands.py` would pass in an empty list into `staticfile()` when running in a frozen binary. That would then result in a variable in that function (`path`) not getting bound before its first use. I then changed that without thinking in D8786 so we passed a `None` value into the function, which made it break in another way (trying to iterate over `None`). Then I tried to fix it up in D8810, but I only changed `hgwebdir_mod.py` for some reason, and it still doesn't actually work in frozen binaries (which seems fair, since was broken before my changes too). This patch just replicates the half-assed "fix" from D8810 in `webcommands.py`, so they look more similar so I can start refactoring them in the same way.

Mercurial for Plan 9 from Bell Labs
===================================

This directory contains support for Mercurial on Plan 9 from Bell Labs
platforms. It is assumed that the version of Python running on these
systems supports the ANSI/POSIX Environment (APE). At the time of this
writing, the bichued/python port is the most commonly installed version
of Python on these platforms. If a native port of Python is ever made,
some minor modification will need to be made to support some of the more
esoteric requirements of the platform rather than those currently made
(cf. posix.py).

By default, installations will have the factotum extension enabled; this
extension permits factotum(4) to act as an authentication agent for
HTTP repositories. Additionally, an extdiff command named 9diff is
enabled which generates diff(1) compatible output suitable for use with
the plumber(4).

Commit messages are plumbed using E if no editor is defined; users must
update the plumbed file to continue, otherwise the hg process must be
interrupted.

Some work remains with regard to documentation. Section 5 manual page
references for hgignore and hgrc need to be re-numbered to section 6 (file
formats) and a new man page writer should be written to support the
Plan 9 man macro set. Until these issues can be resolved, manual pages
are elided from the installation.

Basic install:

  % mk install      # do a system-wide install
  % hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
  % hg              # see help

A proto(2) file is included in this directory as an example of how a
binary distribution could be packaged, ostensibly with contrib(1).

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
