I must admit I don't like Mercurial's contribution workflow very much
(you have to e-mail patches on a mailing-list:
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ContributingChanges). Still, I tried
to contribute back our memory consumption patch:

Also see http://bz.selenic.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3208

Server-side clones have been discussed a bit here:
