.hg directory has eclipsed 3GB - how to deal with huge manifest?

[bughound]

As our project has progressed, so has the manifest (.hg directory).  

It's now over 3GB and causing anyone who wants to clone a new area a
20-minute wait while the .hg directory gets populated over our network.

What's the recommended way for resetting this?

One would think it should be fairly straightforward to archive this manifest
off somewhere else and start it from scratch periodically...
