That seems a bit extreme to me, but perhaps I don't understand what you're
proposing.

I guess you're proposing to remove src/engine/SCons/Tool/docbook (i.e. most
of commit 5ba470ff00b2) on the principle that it is just a copy of
something that is source-controlled elsewhere?  I could see that I guess.
 But it won't actually make a fresh hg clone much smaller since it'll still
be in the history (unless we strip it, which I don't think is a good idea
at all).  Just removing that dir takes a clean checked out repo from 67MB
to 48MB for me, which is not a huge savings.  I think the whole repo is
still very reasonable in size.
