It looks like my patch! I did briefly take a look at this a few weeks 
ago, but as you've noticed, the code has changed enough to make the 
patch difficult to apply. At one point I thought that the vanilla code 
for hgweb might have started supporting subrepositories, but I'd have to 
look again to make sure. It's pretty difficult to work out what kind of 
fancy footwork is going on in that code sometimes when one comes back to 
it after a few weeks/months and when there's a "no comment" policy in 
the Mercurial project. I work on quite a few different projects and even 
in my own projects I'd be lost if it weren't for things like comments 
and copious technical documentation.

Anyway, I'll have a look and see what can be done.

P.S. I also have a patch to add support for cleaner graph data so that 
you can template the graph page with SVG, but that's more of a niche 
feature, I guess.
