Changesets will be small.  Your revision library should be reasonably
space efficient.  Commits and what-changed will (currently) stream
through 2gb of disk i/o, so you'll join the list of people who want me
to finish the optimization that will avoid that.   Building a pristine
tree will copy a 1Gb tree -- so you might want to start using
--no-pristine a lot and keeping a revision library.

If you're not on a cramped disk, yes, I would probably make a commit
hook that updates a revision library on every commit.
