Something similar to that, but your command won't work, as the command "hg archive" does not work if there is no existing hg repo where the command was issued. As in my original post, the git way of doing it:
git archive --remote=ssh://git <at> bitbucket.org/username/reponame.git --format=tar
--output="file.tar" master
