Pushed mg's patch to crew as 7739b61897df.

I recently made the attached patch for this, it includes a test case.

Instead of a traceback one now gets an error message that says that one cannot
lock a static-http repository. It would be better to explain that one cannot
push to such a repository, but I think it is still better than nothing.

We should handle pushes to static-http without a traceback first, then maybe
make clone smarter. The behaviour when pushing to bundle is also unexpected.

Basically, a clone-over-static-http shouldn't add a default push path, right?

Or do we want a more general error message that pushing to static-http isn't
allowed?

With a more recent version:

hg clone http://localhost:8000 test2
localhost - - [16/Feb/2008 23:43:10] "GET /?cmd=heads HTTP/1.1" 200 -
abort: 'http://localhost:8000/' does not appear to be an hg repository!

But the issue is still there if you clone "static-http://localhost:8000"

version: Mercurial Distributed SCM (version f2335246e5c7+20080205)

Steps to repro:
1. hg init test1
2. make a change in repo test1 and commit it
3. cd test1; python -m SimpleHTTPServer (leave it running)
4. hg clone http://localhost:8000/ test2
5. make a change in repo test2 and commit it
6. cd test2; hg push

I know the push operation should not work in this case, but the following is
probably not the right behavior:

pushing to static-http://localhost:8000/
