Given that the pom has a correctly configured scm tag section then it's just a case of finding the browsable file.

Normally mercurial repo's are exposed using hgweb.cgi or hgwebdir.cgi.

Not sure about hgweb - use hgwebdir myself - but - the trick is to grab the raw file version of the tip revision. Once continuum can grab this then it will use the scm tags to get the project.

NOTE

When you run hg clone to grab the repository it will always check out the entire repository.

Mercurial - like some other distributed version control systems works such that each developer has a full value repository - there is no real master other than by convention in a team.

To set up your maven project so that the scm configuration points to a developers local repo:

    <scm>
        <connection>scm:hg:file://${basedir}</connection>
        <developerConnection>scm:hg:file://${basedir}</developerConnection>
    </scm>
