Hi Doug,

I could only see a couple of issues in the issue tracker, one of which 
is possibly a cvs-to-Mercurial converter issue and one to do with 
$Revision$ tag not updating (it's working on my system). Could you point 
me at an issue or archived post if you think it'll break my code?
My use case for using this is that I have a single Python script that 
I'm developing and deploying onto another machine. I need to ensure that 
I can track the script output against the version number so I want the 
script to have access to its Revision info and also to be able to look 
at the script to see what its version is. Doing this without RCS-style 
keywords are perfect for this.

Gary
