  Bleh.
  
  So what I'm hearing is that because of hgwebdir's virtual paths and support for serving subrepos, pretty much the entire URL space is dangerous because it can conflict with the path of a virtual repo or subrepo. I suppose we already have problems with existing URLs, like `/rev/`.
  
  I agree that putting things under `.hg/` in the URL space seems to be a viable workaround.
  
  Changing the URL prefix isn't a big deal as far as the code is concerned. We can make that change at any time since we have no BC guarantees at this juncture.
