 878Mb, while its .hg is 51Mb. And here the fact that this tree has a long
 history must be taken into account.

 I don't know which files' sizes you've added up there, but, first of all,
 a [compressed] source tree with meta information will obviously always be
 larger than [a compressed] one without it (even when you check out the
 current versions before calling `spkg-install` rather than redundantly
 shipping them already checked out along with the repository), and second,
 presumably more important, you'd then in addition carry all the upstream
 history, which of course would grow the packages' sizes in comparison to
 what we have now.
