how to do basic mercurial export of a revision

[peter at peterkellner.net]

I'm not feeling overwhelmed by this doc.

If I say: "hg archive -t zip" I get no .hg specified.  Of course, because it has no idea where to get the data from.  How to I specify the url of my bitbucket account pointing to my repository?

Thanks.

My preference would be to get a zip or tar file of the latest version or a version I designate.  I'd take a directory tree though.  Clone seems to always get me the .hg file.  I'm pulling not from my local but from bitbucket (https://....)

hg help archive
