Fix Debian bug #494889 (fetching from static-http://... broken)

Changeset 6605a03cbf87 which fixed issue965 (hg clone static-http
does not work for empty repos) broke cloning of repos with old layout
(without store) via static-http.

This fix makes cloning from old-style repositories possible again,
but will not allow cloning of empty old-style repositories as this
can not be detected reliably.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help
