Peter Hansson updated SCM-799:
------------------------------
Description:
Currently the hg provider does not implement the {{export}} command.
Recap: The {{export}} command terminology originates from the SVN world. It
means to get the sources without the SCM stuff, just sources, nothing else.
The equivalent in Mercurial world is {{hg archive}}. It was first implemented
in 2006 (in version 0.9).
I don't see a reason why the hg provider would _not_ support the {{export}}
command. Sometimes the source is really all you want. Doing an actual
{{checkout}} (aka {{hg clone}}) can take a lot more time than {{export}} (aka
{{hg archive}}).
