Solve and understand HTTP Error 414: Request-URI Too Large

Hello everyone,

the error "HTTP Error 414: Request-URI Too Large" occurs regularly on our
project.
We develop new features in their own branches and some colleagues don't
close them.
If someone in our team doesn't pull often, he will get the error "HTTP
Error 414: Request-URI Too Large".

We raised the limits on our web server, but I want to understand why this
problem exists.
How does mercurial generate the URLs for a pull-Request? Why does this url
become longer and longer over time?
And is there a way to solve this problem instead of raising the limits on
server side?

Currently we just pull the important branches to "solve" the problem. But
that's just a workaround.

I'm looking forward your help and explanations.

Regards,

Daniel Siepmann.
