[issue527] hgwebdir incorrect error when pushing to read-only, empty repository

[Daniel Holth]

New submission from Daniel Holth <dholth at fastmail.fm>:

abort: 'https://hg.example.com/bar/baz/quux' does not appear to be an hg 
repository!

hgwebdir produced this error message when the repository was owned by root:root 
instead of www-data:www-data as it should have been. It should instead say "It 
is a mercurial repository, but I can't write to it." Or perhaps it just 
couldn't read far enough into the directory tree.
