If you included all the artifacts that you need, that would immediately
make the subrepo larger than you might expect.  Certainly the subrepo would
be smaller if you only included artifacts that actually changed, and even
then only included deltas and not the complete text.

But maybe there should be an open to the "fossil submit" or "fossil
subrepo" command (whatever it ends up being called) so that you can specify
either a dependent or an independent subrepository.  Dependent would be the
default.  But you could request an independent subrepo if you wanted to and
space wasn't an issue.
