Just keep in mind the downside that you can't then push or pull your changes directly back into the main repository. You can generate a patch file for the project maintainer to apply, however. Hg makes it very easy to produce a patch file between any two revisions. Also, unless the project is truly ancient, the whole history might not be as big as you expect. The code presumably grew to its present size incrementally, in an approximately monotonic manner, so the sum of all the diffs is probably about the same order of magnitude as the current code size. As an experiment, I just cloned a copy of the CPython repository, and it's about 300MB. A tarball of Python 3.2 that I downloaded and compiled earlier is about 75MB. That's a ratio of about 4, and CPython is a pretty ancient project! -- Greg
