Are you sure?  This is of course true for cloning, but from what I see, 
everything that has branched (ie. every file that has different history in 
those two repositories) is tracked on its own, and cannot be hardlinked.  
Similarly changelogs and manifests (which are the painful hits - more than 
300M for DEV300 per CWS).  But maybe I just don't understand Mercurial 
enough - sorry in that case.

Anyway, we are really getting off-topic.

Regards,
Kendy
