https://foss.heptapod.net/fluiddyn/fluidsim is a Mercurial repository.

```
guix download --commit=62c4dbe4f786 https://foss.heptapod.net/fluiddyn/fluidsim
```

fails with:

```
SWH: revision "62c4dbe4f786" originating from https://foss.heptapod.net/fluiddyn/fluidsim could not be found
guix download: warning: revision 62c4dbe4f786 of https://foss.heptapod.net/fluiddyn/fluidsim could not be fetched from Software Heritage
guix download: error: Git error: unexpected http status code: 404
```

I studied `guix download -h` which shows that `guix download` only supports Git repositories. Since there is `hg-download`, it would make sense that the command `guix download` support Mercurial.
