This might have been part of DXR itself in the past, though I have no knowledge of it. Currently, we have a shell script that checks out the mozilla-central sources in an ad hoc manner and then kicks off the DXR build: http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/file/b2fae78a2db9/scripts/dxr/dxr.sh. There are some concrete benefits to intertwingling DXR more with version control. For one thing, it would be one way to do incremental builds (https://github.com/mozilla/dxr/pull/121), which would drastically drop our build times. Our hg plugin already interacts with hg a little bit to do blame links and such. If you have a proposal in which VCS integration would be a big benefit, I'm happy to listen. Of course, we'd want to stay decoupled enough to be able to support any arbitrary VCS, so there are certainly benefits to keeping our scope small as well.
