I suppose we already have problems with existing URLs, like `/rev/`. I think so. I remember when Yuya suggested putting the `/index` virtual file into hgwebdir a year ago, I had to dance around the fact that 'index' could have been a repo being served up. I'm guessing `/rev/` et al. is less of a problem, because presumably they've existed since the beginning? > 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. I'm fine with landing this as-is and changing it later if needed. I haven't checked this myself, I was just going on a vague memory of issues that I ran into, and wondered if you had considered it.
