Ok, there are two problems:

1) the first one is that hgweb doesn't handle very well a url empty; the patch 
below should solve the problem

+                while url.find("//") >= 0 : url = url.replace("//","/")
                 if not r.startswith("http://"):
                     lastupdate = os.stat(os.path.join(r, ".bzr",
                         "revision-history")).st_mtime



2) another problem can be the apache configuration. The config below, handle the 
case where the hgwebdir is at the root of the webserve: 

-------------

<NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
        ServerAdmin webmaster at localhost

        DocumentRoot /home/ghigo/bazaar/
        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
        ServerSignature On

    Alias / /home/ghigo/bazaar/hgwebdir.cgi/
    <Directory "/home/ghigo/bazaar">
                DirectoryIndex index.cgi
                AllowOverride None
                Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Indexes
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
                AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

My code is without bug !!!! :-)

It is possible; mercurial does so; but were in the repository is stored/should
be store this kind of information ?
