AFAIK, the "hg serve --stdio" command does not start hgweb. It just instruct
HG to start the wire protocol to listen on SSH stdin instead of a HTTP
socket. But the HG wire protocol has no command to retrieve a file revision
content.
So the solution would be to either:
- Implement a new wire command to retrieve a file revision on the HG side.
There has always been some push back for such requests, so I don't see that
happen.
- Implement a specialized HGSSHClient class in the hg.py of the ReviewBoard
scmtools to would run remotely run "hg cat" command and dump the result over
the SSH link, instead of trying to run the HG wire protocol over SSH.
The Pros is that this would work with any mercurial version.
The drawback of this solution is that you can't protect SSH accesses with the
hg-ssh script. You would have to use a different wrapper.

Gilles.
