Yet another hgweb config question

[Patrick Waugh]

I did get it all to work finally, and so I thought I'd share in case
others have a similar problem.

# hgweb.config

# These are directories under the 'base' /home/patrick/repo
# in each one there are related repositories

[collections]
bb-ant-tools/ = bb-ant-tools/
cbl/ = cbl/
dib/ = dib/
hg/ = hg/
perldesk/ = perldesk/
sd/ = sd/
sdplugins/ = sdplugins/
zencart/ = zencart/

[web]
baseurl = /~patrick/repo

# end of files

The above configuration allows hgwebdir.cgi to not have to be renamed
to index.cgi, as well as gets rid of it in friendly URL's.

Basically, one can get to the index like this:

http://localhost/~patrick/repo

and then get clean URL's like this:

http://localhost/~patrick/repo/cb-dev

Would be really cool if (without having to setup separate .cgi files)
we could have like a 'Meta-index' where you would have a list of
'Projects' and then get an index of only that project's repos (like
dev, stable, etc.).

The advantage would be that you wouldn't have to look through a long
list of unrelated repositories to find the one you want to drill into.

Thanks J.S. for the baseurl = /~patrick/repo part!
