file servers are great, but hg concepts aren't really file-system oriented.
it might be nice to be able to
	diff -c (default mybranch)^/sys/src/9/pc/mp.c
but hg diff figures out all the alloying stuff, like the top-level of the
repo anyway.  also, ideas like push, pull, update, etc., don't map very well.
so a hg file server seems to me a bit like, "have hammer, see nail".

if i'm missing why this is an interesting idea, i'd love to know what
i don't see.
