Sadly, mercurial doesn't support having multiple working directories from a single clone, which would be useful to avoid wasting so much disk space on .hg. But git does ;) (albeit, with a script in contrib/) I guess someone could patch mercurial to support such setups, which, independently of what we do on the servers, could be useful on the clients (pull different branches in the same local clone, use different working directories for each).
