The size of the second repo is a concern to me. I am not sure what 
happens in the .hg directory if you clone a repo and don't "hg update" 
it. I know the clone gets all the changesets but does it have a new copy 
of each source file?

I think export/import is meant to be kept simple so it can be used to 
bring in external patches.
