Or just create a BB account for your customer and revoke access for this user to your repo later on. Compared to forcing your customer to install a DVCS, this is a much simpler solution IMHO.

Or do you perhaps struggle with the 5 user free account limitation? If so, I'd suggest purchasing a plan and paying BB for their service. Maybe a suggestion of having private/public key authentication for archive downloads will then have a chance of making it through, too.
