No, you don't. You make links to 200MB+ (unless you're on Windows, where I don't know how this works). This is much cheaper than copying, though not as cheap as in git. I don't hesitate to make branches in Mercurial.
It can still do hardlinks on Windows, provided the repo is on NTFS (and I think NTFS supports only hardlinks within the same partition).
Strictly: on the same volume. (Which will generally but not always amount to: under the same drive letter) TJG
