Hrm. Why are there other Pythons in the cpython repository? Yes,
CPython 2.x and 3.x, but why the other two?

Yeah. Actually, I suspect that what's going on here, and what led to
my confusion, is that Pike wasn't always done using git, so quite a
few of the earlier versions simply aren't here. So it's an error in my
perceptions rather than any real difference.

However, comparisons aside, 200MB is still a fair bit to fetch before
doing anything with Python. Does Mercurial have any equivalent of
git's shallow clone feature?
