I do not need the whole branch - only a small subset of files related to distutils. I know that bazaar can't do partial checkouts - it can only fetch the whole branch. What about mercurial?

Mercurial can't do it either. But I don't think it matters a lot; unless your bandwidth is very low the full clone should be fast enough. Here it takes just 150s. for the trunk.

And why not to setup HTTPS for anonymous read and authorized write access? It is not that hard to do and will solve many problems with proxies.

I don't know really, someone else should answer.
