initialize or export selected target only?

[tdjastrzebski]

All mbed-os files have considerable 1GB size while, typically, mbed developer needs selected target files only without all the tests.

I have been looking for an option to either initialize (new) or copy (export?) selected target only without tests to reduce local working repository size. Is this supported?

If not, I suggest adding such feature.

Hi,

correct, this is known issue. We are working on updating to a new build system. I don't think this is yet there.

@0xc0170 BTW, my sincere advice: eliminate Mercurial, use latest LTS Python version.
