Comment:

 I was actually incorrect about this. I misread the documentation of hg; -r
 tip will actually perform a full clone. It seems hg does not currently
 support shallow clones, but they are looking into it.

 On another note, the parallel checkout (using -p) has been quite stable
 for me lately, and it does significantly reduce checkout/update times. I
 am considering making parallel mode the default if the user's Perl
 supports threads, or at least letting users decide how many threads to use
 (currently -p is locked at 4 threads).
