It is not possible to do in a generic way:
Bitbucket:  https://bitbucket.org/techtonik/python-wget/raw/tip/setup.py
Google:      http://pyglet.googlecode.com/hg-history/tip/setup.py
HgWeb:     http://selenic.com/repo/hg/raw-file/tip/setup.py

HgWeb forces file download (which is inconvenient IMHO) while other
hostings allow to view in browser.
