I just ran 'du' command on '$SAGEROOT/devel/sage/', and on
'$SAGEROOT/devel/sage/.hg'.

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.
I am not talking about carrying around the whole upstream history, which
may or may not be available. If upstream upgrades in a clean patch
fashion, then it's easy to import their patches and carry them on.
Otherwise we basically would throw the history away, just as we do
presently, and start anew.
