Hi python-dev,

Yes, mercurial or Bazaar do its job better on Windows etc. (and are
written in Python :-)
Not true. The on-disk repository is now one of the more efficient
ones.
After packing the repository, yes (which has to be done manually).
If this still makes git one of the more efficient
dvcs systems, I don't want to see the other ones :-(
I do not know about speed issues in git, but I think that mercurial is
said to be nearly as fast as git - and at least updating repos seems to
work for me quickly.
Thomas A. Hein has setup a one-shot mirror of the CPython SVN with branch
support here: http://hg.intevation.org/tmp/python/python/
And there is a mirror here: http://hg.alexanderweb.de/python-temp/
You can clone it by running `hg clone URL`, and then `hg serve` to see the
repo in your web browser. For me that needed less than 5 minutes on a
well-connected machine.
For beginners, there is a nice explanation about DVCS here:

Kind regards,
Alexander
