diff_block: fix link to file revisions

Pull requests would link to file revisions in the wrong repo. That was
obviously only visible when merging between different repos - but then it would
link to a non-existing revision.

diff_block is apparently used pull-request-style with the 'b' revision of the
diff shown first. It thus also has to point at the 'other' repo which is where
the other revision can be found.

===================================
RhodeCode repository locking system
===================================


| Repos with **locking function=disabled** is the default, that's how repos work
  today.
| Repos with **locking function=enabled** behaves like follows:

Repos have a state called `locked` that can be true or false.
The hg/git commands `hg/git clone`, `hg/git pull`, and `hg/git push`
influence this state:

- The command `hg/git pull <repo>` will lock that repo (locked=true)
  if the user has write/admin permissions on this repo

- The command `hg/git clone <repo>` will lock that repo (locked=true) if the
  user has write/admin permissions on this repo


RhodeCode will remember the user id who locked the repo
only this specific user can unlock the repo (locked=false) by calling

- `hg/git push <repo>`

every other command on that repo from this user and
every command from any other user will result in http return code 423 (locked)


additionally the http error includes the <user> that locked the repo
(e.g. “repository <repo> locked by user <user>”)


So the scenario of use for repos with `locking function` enabled is that
every initial clone and every pull gives users (with write permission)
the exclusive right to do a push.


Each repo can be manually unlocked by admin from the repo settings menu.
