I've just kludged a fix on kernel.org for this. Note that this is only
necessary because of the peculiars of kernel.org's setup. The fix
looks like this:

  cd .hg
  mkdir last
  mv 00changelog.i last
  ln -s last/00changelog.i 00changelog.i

Now rsync's ordering will cause the changelog index to be synced last,
so hgweb's view will always be consistent.

I've also updated hgweb on kernel.org:

 - using hgwebdir with NWI-style URLs
 - running with proper encoding (UTF-8)
 - convert-repo is now doing encoding fixups
 - the repo itself is using revlogng
