I only have a couple (times 2) comments:

1.) I don't like encouraging push_ssl = False. Just use SSH.

2.) I never thought of using ~/hg. I use that for private stuff and
~/hg.mydomain.com/hg for public stuff (of which there is none at the
moment). You could probably just use [collections] without a symlink.

3.) I don't like that RewriteCond !-f and !-d stuff. I put my repos
under an hg/ directory so I can rewrite the entire directory.

4.) What about using FastCGI? It could be a little speedier.

5.) Trivial: [QSA] isn't necessary when you aren't setting a query string.
