If the other person doesn't need to run mercurial directly (as in a
person who is getting code from you once in a while, but isn't
checking anything in), the
   "hg archive"
command can be helpful.  If they do need to check-in, or to have the
occasional update, giving them a tar or zip of a local clone could
work, with
  "hg export"   (on your side)
  "hg import"   (on their side)
used to send the updates.  Since this is a much more manual method, I
would not use for a situation where there was a lot of sharing.
