Oh boy. Was I wrong. There's a good reason this doesn't exist:

The {{hg archive}} command doesn't work on remote repos !

Closing this request.

> 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}}).
