Hello,
in the following Bug report someone tried to download a specific
octave revision from the hgweb interface, but got a corrupted
file(files in the archive were missing).
I tried it, too, with .gz and .bz2 and got both times an ~6MB file
(instead of about 20MB), which was broken. looking near the end, I
found a python error message and stack trace in html.

I don't know, if you are the right people to write to.
I will give more information, if necessary. I'm interested in the
cause of this error. If you can resolve it, please tell me.
