It doesn't seem that googlecode.com allows one to download arbitrary
changeset from the repo as an archive (yet).  There's a registered
issue[0] about this on their support issue tracker, but I don't see
anywhere that it had been solved.

Perhaps this project has a mirror on bitbucket.org?  This feature is
supported there:

  http://bitbucket.org/$USERNAME/$APPNAME/get/$CHANGESET.tar.bz2

If there's no official mirror, you could provide it yourself by cloning
the repo and pushing it into bitbucket.org.  Or you could try asking the
upstream to do this for you.
