These last three lines say we gave up talking to a real hgweb server and
tried to treat the repository as a slow "static" repo (reading
repository revlog files directly over http). This is probably not what
you intended.

Can you browse the subrepo in your browser? Can you clone from it
manually?

This is probably Mercurial trying to read the requirements file and
getting a weird HTML error message from your Apache server.
