That's a reasonable choice - and with a repo approaching 80GB I
understand the issue although it has not been an actual problem yet.
However, other than the sheer size of the dump/filter operation,
extracting a portion should be practical even if you renumber as long
as you have made tags and use those human-friendly tag names for
externals and other specific revisions you need to reference
consistently instead of peg revision numbers.

Various versions have been posted to forums - and are fairly easy to
find with a google search. I'm not sure if there is an 'official'
collection anywhere.
