This is a really excellent suggestion, and the perfect excuse to get
familiar with MQ, that I haven't tried yet.

I have a strange error:

"""
[jcea at babylon5 home]$ hg clone http://hg.python.org/cpython/
destination directory: cpython
requesting all changes
abort: HTTP Error 414: Request-URI Too Large
"""

Using an sniffer, I see the request is actually huge. I am using
Mercurial 1.5.

I can pull individual branches, with "-b" flag
(http://hg.python.org/cpython/branches), but I have the same issue doing
a "pull" later.

It is not possible to download the full repository?. I could update the
clone branch by branch, but must be a better way...

Suggestions?.
