New description:

 If you are viewing a source file and you use the "Up" button provided by
 some browsers you get an error and a Python backtrace.

 Efectively what the "Up" button does is try to traverse one folder up in
 the sites heirachy.

 This should work and I think it is bad usability that it doesn't. Anything
 which breaks a user-agents expected behaviour is a Bad Thing in my
 opinion.

Comment:

 This has been fixed with the merging of the versioncontrol layer in
 [1413]. Both files and directories and now handled through the
 /browser/<path> URL. (The older /file/<path> style URLs are redirected for
 backwards compatibility).
