Essentially I to get just the contents of the repository at the default commit. Conceptually similar to --depth=1 with git I think.

I don't know of a way to clone a repository and only get default, but I think 'hg archive' might be close to what you want?

It's also supported by many Mercurial hosting facilities. For hgweb, the archive capability needs to be specifically enabled, though. – Ringding Sep 01 '12 at 15:28

You can specify up to which commit (from start to commit #5) You want to get the content. The thing is - that Mercurial stores all the commits - as DIFFs.
This means - that if You want to get the latest state of the file1.txt, so what mercurial essentially does - is takes the file, as it was added, and applies all the diffs (deltas) onto that.
Basically - You can NOT get half of the repository, because of that.
