No, it used to work *without* the SVN server.  There was a mapping of
SVN revision numbers to hg changeset ids, and hg.python.org/lookup/ would
trigger a WSGI application that would redirect to the appropriate
*changeset* on hg.python.org.

I don't know why that has changed and why it now redirects to the SVN
server.  That's a regression.
