Dirk Heinrichs updated an issue   Jenkins / JENKINS-60748 clone options (--rev) not well suited for large repositories Change By: Dirk Heinrichs When cloning a large repository (~2G, general_delta format), using --rev to only clone a specific branch can lead to vastly increased clone times as shown in the table below: ||--rev default||--uncompressed||elapsed time|| |(/)|(/)|16:12,05| |(/)|(-)|15:21,41| |(-)|(/)|1:24,41| |(-)|(-)|8:18,24| The times have been measured on a Linux host using the following command: {code:java} time hg clone <options> <URL>{code} As can be seen, adding _ --rev default_ default increases the clone time dramatically, while adding _ -- uncompressed_ uncompressed yields the fastest result. On Windows, the situation is even worse (~3 - 4 times slower). It would therefor be nice if one could enable or disable clone options on a per-job basis, or even have something similar to Git plugin's "Additional Behaviours" which allows to specify "Advanced clone behaviours" (and many more).
