A note to everyone implementing hosting solutions: fix subrepos already

Subrepos were released over two years ago in June 2009 as part of 1.3.
If you don't yet support _nested_ repositories of the form:

http://blah/blah/project/subproject

..you do not yet support subrepos properly, which is causing lots of
suffering and confusion that we can't fix it on our end.

As far as I know, folks that are currently failing here includes
BitBucket, Google Code, Kiln, Rhodecode, CodePlex and basically
everything except hgweb itself.

Please hack something in pronto, like something that redirects foo/bar
into foo-bar.
