What does hgweb do that hg serve does not?

[Ansis Māliņš]

I’m having trouble understanding the added value of the hgweb script. It’s just a couple lines of Python and needs a WSGI server, while hg serve can be put directly behind an Nginx. What price am I paying for using hg serve rather than hgweb?

For context, I’m looking to serve a handful private of repositories for several dozen people from a low end VPS on the Internet. Lots of largefiles. It’s a video game hobby project.
