Fabrizio, there is a similar issue with other distributed SCMs. You may take
a look at e.g. SCM-444 where we discussed this for git.
For solving this cleanly, we need to change the maven-scm-api,
maven-release-manager, maven-release-plugin, all maven-scm-providers for DSCMs
(git, bazaar, hg)
I think we should try to address this in the next major maven-scm update.
But since this is imho a pretty heavy task I don't expect this to happen
quickly.

> Hello.
> When executing a release:perform, Maven forces hg to perform a clone of the
> remote repository in the target/checkout directory:
> [INFO] EXECUTING: /bin/sh -c cd /home/hudson/Builds/jrawio~TEST/target && hg
> clone -r 1.5.4 https://@kenai.com/hg/jrawio~src
> /home/hudson/Builds/jrawio~TEST/target/checkout
> Hg repos can be huge (even gigabytes) and thus operation causes a waste of
> bandwidth (and of time). It seems that the most obvious thing to do is to
> clone from the local copy in the main directory (e.g. hg clone -r 1.5.4 ..)
> and if you need to do a laster push you can explicitly specify the URL of the
> remote repository to the hg push command.
