SourceForge migration has broken HTTP access to some hg repos

[Mike Miller]

Hi Octave Forge admins,

I am unable to pull hg changes from 3 of the Octave Forge mercurial
source repositories over HTTP. I *am* able to pull over SSH. I think
it's likely that the repositories are fine, but something is wrong with
the HTTP hosting of hgweb, probably having to do with the recent
migration.

Would you get in contact with SourceForge so we can get this resolved?

Details:

I get the same error from the geometry, signal, and statistics
repositories, and only those three:

I can reproduce this error on multiple machines in different locations
and with different versions of mercurial, so I have no doubt it is not a
local problem, anyone should be able to reproduce it.

Again, if I pull from the same repositories using SSH access, I get no
such error.
