djc at enrai contrib $ hg -R http://hg.intevation.org/mercurial/crew/ tip
** unknown exception encountered, details follow

Traceback (most recent call last):

    ui.setconfig("bundle", "mainreporoot", repo.root)
AttributeError: 'httprepository' object has no attribute 'root'

It seems hg should either refuse to do this or give a nicer error message.
