Hi Benoit,

This won't work apparently for antivirus scanning. Taken from
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/msg/13b1eb2050ed3f0f: 

"""
The reason for doing (1) -- (3) is that it is possible to scan an .hg
directory with antivirus tools.
Thus something silly like "base64-encode a tarball of .hg" won't work.
"""

Any other suggestions?
