So if I understand you correctly, you have a checkout of a repository 
like "bitweaver3" but you remove the .hg directories from the 
subrepositories so that they won't appear in hgweb?

Because if there was a "superproject" in the top level - "bitweaver3" 
being such a "superproject" - then without removing .hg directories from 
subrepositories all those subrepositories would also appear at the top 
level?

I think that you should maybe use only * where you want to hide 
subrepositories because descend mode doesn't affect subrepository 
exposure. See the Wiki for a hopefully not too confusing summary:
