    If you have local access to the repository, you could use the hg archive command.

    If you want a snapshot of a remotely hosted repository, it depends on the used web interface and its configuration. For instance Bitbucket allows you to download packages of specific revisions. Mercurial’s standard web interface (the one you see when running hg serve) also has this functionality, if enabled.
