It doesn't seem that googlecode.com allows one to download arbitrary changeset from the repo as an archive (yet). There's a registered issue[0] about this on their support issue tracker, but I don't see anywhere that it had been solved. [0] http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=4134 Perhaps this project has a mirror on bitbucket.org? This feature is supported there: http://bitbucket.org/$USERNAME/$APPNAME/get/$CHANGESET.tar.bz2 If there's no official mirror, you could provide it yourself by cloning the repo and pushing it into bitbucket.org. Or you could try asking the upstream to do this for you. -- Audrius Kažukauskas
