Side question, we would only need to tar the .hg folder, no? And revive the workspace with hg update?

I think it should probably be done on demand, it may be more expensive to keep a commit based tgz otherwise.

In fact the most awesome thing would be to have a special repository that we clone but gives us back only the tgz to unpack locally, with all the history and correct hg paths.
