The feature is not discontinued, there is "just" a bug. The automatic tests did not catch this problem, as it only appears when the server uses the old repository layout without the store directory, compare e.g. http://hg.intevation.org/kolab/kuudecode/.hg/ (old layout) with http://hg.intevation.org/argh/.hg/ (new layout) "hg clone static-http://hg.intevation.org/kolab/kuudecode/"; works while "hg clone static-http://hg.intevation.org/argh/"; yields the same error as you reported. A quick workaround for you is to clone your repository and move this clone back in the old place. Of course old hg clients won't be able to clone the new layout via static-http, only the usual network protocol stayed compatible.
