    Try specifying a limited number of revisions with the --revision parameter. You most likely do not need the whole history, especially if the project has a long history.

    From the manual page:

    This allows revision ranges for partial/cauterized history to be supported. $NUMBER, $NUMBER1:$NUMBER2 (numeric ranges), $NUMBER:HEAD, and BASE:$NUMBER are all supported.

    So for example --revision 3000:HEAD would fetch revisions starting from r3000.
