this functionality exists in mercurial via the hg archive command.  
the problem is that this command does not support this action from  
remote repositories. there are workarounds but they are different  
depending on which remote protocol you are using (ssh, http, https  
etc etc).. Anyways I considered implementing this in the mercurial  
plugin but it is a hack at best and it is something that really  
should be fixed in mercurial, not in cap. If you use the remote_cache  
deploy method this is very fast. If your really worried about the  
metadata simply add a hook to update_code that deletes .hg in the  
directory.

Space is cheap, programming time is expensive, that was my rationale :)

Fix mercurial not cap!
