It would be great if you can check it out. I can also give you a hand.
However, I'm not 100% sure it didn't work in the past. Somebody had to
put those [auth] section stuff in.
In fact, digging through hg repo shows:
annotate doc/hgrc.5.txt @ 8847:7951f385fcb7
find changesets by author, revision, files, or words in the commit message
url: support client certificate files over HTTPS (issue643)
This extends the httpshandler with the means to utilise the auth
section to provide it with a PEM encoded certificate key file and
certificate chain file. This works also with sites that both require
client certificate authentication and basic or digest password
authentication, although the latter situation may require the user to
enter the PEM password multiple times.

Seams HTTPS client cert support was added with 7951f385fcb7.
