So when I had you test that earlier, and you said:

"Yes we can browse it in the the browser"

"If I clone just the subrepo it works correctly"

..those were both false data points? That's wasted you three days!
Luckily, I didn't have a lot of confidence in the accuracy of your
reports and didn't waste any time trying to reproduce your nonexistent
behavior on my end.

Then it's probably specific to the name of your repo. As hgweb doesn't
have any particular opinions about names, it's likely to be an issue
with your Apache config. Perhaps you've picked a name that Apache thinks
is special like cgi-bin.
