A "back" or "up" button would be nice, yes.

I'm not sure I understand your description. hgweb will move references 
to repositories located inside other repositories out to the index view 
so that those "subrepositories" will each appear alongside the entry for 
the repository in which they reside.

Is it not the case that "bitweaver bundle" resides at the top-level as a 
repository? Maybe a brief summary of the directory hierarchy might help 
explain the problem a bit more clearly.

Are you saying that you don't want the subrepositories to always appear 
next to the parent repositories?
