It would be faster and more resource-friendly if you pull/update into
a repo_dir that you don't touch otherwise (this will be super fast,
especially when there are no changes), then make a local clone with hg
clone repo_dir build_dir-$(date) (this is super fast and efficient
too, using hard-links when possible) and then build in this copy,
which you can keep or delete at will.

There hasn't been much going on in level3 since 2010. It is not built
by default. I made it build last time I worked on this, but I don't
know how well it works. See my notes in:
hg log -v -r 2916:56f26b87fa8a

It should be possible, after having all dependencies built with for
instance "make PORTS=coco3_6309" in the top folder (which builds
level2), to go into level3/coco3_6309 and then run "make dsk" there.
