Alas, this did not help.

NOTE: Running task 520 of 759 (ID: 5,
/home/frans/oe/openembedded/recipes/ushare/ushare_hg.bb, do_fetch)
NOTE: package ushare-1.1a-r1+hg2e40e513a4a0: task do_fetch: Started

This is after removing the downloads/hg dir and all downloads/ushare* files

I have also tried without the proto=http; part (as that did not appear
in other recipes using hg://) but that did not make a difference
either.
I have checked and the rev exists.
