An interesting approach, and a solid piece of coding, but I'm afraid
this isn't the sort of solution I was hoping for here.

A much more generic approach would have the server advertising "I know
about long args" and the generic http client code would then start
stuffing args somewhere else in the query. For instance, in a series
fake cookies or X-Mercurial-Arg: headers in the HTTP request. Then we'd
automatically get long arg support in all commands, past and future.

ps: please adjust your commit name to something that looks like an email
address.
