HI,
Is there a way to export current hg repository head in a tar ball? I don't need all the hg meta files in the tar ball (e.g history/diff).

Use hg archive -t tgz <targetpath> to export a clean version as a gzip'd tarball.
Alternatively, you can use a different -t flag value to specify a different output type. You can find all of the type (and other) options on the hg man page.
In Mercurial 1.6+, you don't even need to specify the type with -t - you can just use hg archive <targetpath> and Mercurial will infer the proper type from the filename.

5The next version of Mercurial (version 1.6) will guess the right archive type for you, so `hg archive foo.tar.bz2` is enough to get a bzip2-compressed tarball. – Martin Geisler May 28 '10 at 07:56

I think you should update that answer omitting the params... it works nicely with guessing.. – Lipis Apr 30 '12 at 23:02

1Can this be somehow performed on remote repo? – Piotr Dobrogost Mar 03 '17 at 12:29
