My jdk repository

<44> du -k -s .hg
110796	.hg

<45> du -k -s .
340236	.

The working set files take up 230Mb, the repository data only 110Mb
because it is compressed.

You are always free to trim and cut out large parts of the working set
files, they are 'working set files', you just have to be careful that
Mercurial doesn't bring them all back when you run 'hg update'.
Also, if you ask Mercurial with a 'hg status' it will indicate that
there are missing files and may expect you to bring them back
with an 'hg update' or tell Mercurial that you want to remove them
with an 'hg rm', and the 'hg rm' would be a major mistake.
