It looks like the shared repo allows you to have several clones using teh same 
repository of changes, but being fully functional. 

I assume it is more similar to a main repository and many shallow copies (jus 
the last revision) which use the main repository for resolving earlier 
changesets. 

From the speed with the --hardlink option it looks like it also hardlinks the 
workdir files. 

Best wishes,
