If you have a lot of large images, especially if they change
frequently, you should read about my bfiles extension to understand
the tradeoffs: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BfilesExtension.
Follow the link to "User documentation".

bfiles isn't quite at the point where it works with non-programmers,
but it's getting there.

OTOH, if you just have (say) 20 100k images, don't bother.
