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).
