I used to have a nightly script that syncs and zips up the entire content of the .hg files. Then if I want to clone a new repo, I would just unzip the .hg files, and run hg update -c. All that just takes just a few seconds on SSD. Then just hg pull -u to download the changes in the past day. You will have a fresh repo in less than a minute.

Exactly. I'm proposing that we share that work so that newcomers to projects can just download the repositories.
