Bug report

Bug description:

mercurial 6.8 fails to start with the 3.12 branch 2024-07-15, but works with 3.12.4:

~$ hg

AttributeError: partially initialized module 'threading' has no attribute 'RLock' (most likely due to a circular import)

Commenting out the hgdemandimport.enable() at line 55 of /usr/bin/hg, it works:

報告指出了第 55 行的 /usr/bin/hg 和 hgdemandimport.enable()，並以 Debian 錯誤報告作為補充背景。首先在 3.12 分支上相對於 3.12.4 重現 mercurial 6.8 的啟動失敗，並檢查 gh-120233/gh-121350 回歸；當 hg 能夠在沒有 threading 循環匯入錯誤的情況下啟動時，即視為完成。
