I can confirm I can clone now http://hg.python.org/cpython/ , using the new Mercurial 1.5.2. If the repository was not overhaulted, this is GOOD.
The repository has 443 heads. Half a gig. Uffffffffffff.
For daily work, I suggest you use http://code.python.org/hg instead. It is much more lightweight (a separate repo for each branch) and, since it isn't meant to test the conversion, the changeset IDs won't change.
