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'.

When monoblue style was added in f9c487618909, however, all graph links had
tried to point at some hash, and on such pages as described above it didn't
make sense. On error pages '{node|short}' is empty string anyway.
Of course, it worked, but seeing such 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 wasn't consistent with other template styles, other
pages in monoblue and even other links on the same page.

Without this, repository paths or names containing e.g. & characters or html
tags yielded strange results, possibly allowing cross-site scripting attacks.
The purpose of this change is to make it much easier to navigate up the
repository tree when the hg web server is used to serve more than one
repository.
A "URL breadcrumb" is a path where each of the path items can be clicked to go
to the corresponding path page.
This lets you go up the folder hierarchy very quickly. For example, when showing
the list of repositories in http://myserver/myteams/myprojects, the following
"breadcrumb" will be shown:
Mercurial > myteams > myprojects
Clicking on "myprojects" reloads the page. Clicking on "myteams" goes up one
folder. Clicking on the leftmost "Mercurial" goes to the server root.
This "breadcrumb" also appears on all repository pages. For example on the
summary page of the repository at http://myserver/myteams/myprojects/myrepo the
following will be shown:
Mercurial > myteams > myprojects > myrepo / summary
This change has been applied to all templates that already had a link to the
main repository page (i.e. gitweb, monoblue, paper and coal) plus to the index
page of the spartan template.
In order to make the breadcumb links stand out the some of the template styles
have been customized.
