A patch to allow archive and download folder in mercurial repository with hgweb
Mercurial provides hgweb cgi scripts to allow you manage mercurial repositories using http server. And it allow download the archive of the repository as zip,tar.gz or tar.bz2. But it not allow you to download a whole sub folder as some other version control system web fronts. I create one patch to add this function. You can find it here.
Use http://www.teesoft.info/hg/samples/file/tip/netbeans/PaletteDemo1/ as an example. Follow this to set a mercurial repository over http. It's use sourceforge as an examples, but you can also use the similar to other isp if they provide python support. You can also find the patch I created mercurial 0.9.4.
This is my first try on python. Let me know if you find some error/bug.
Thanks
