You'd think so, but it doesn't work.
It _does_ work if you use hg clone -r, but not for revert.


[nbecker at nbecker1 ~]$ cp -al idma-cdma idma-cdma.r297
[nbecker at nbecker1 ~]$ cd idma-cdma.r297/
[nbecker at nbecker1 idma-cdma.r297]$ hg revert -r 297 --all
reverting ...
[nbecker at nbecker1 idma-cdma.r297]$ hg id
020ca3a96b03+ tip
[nbecker at nbecker1 idma-cdma.r297]$ hg id -n
306+

This is the current repo tip, not the rev 297 of the working copy.

I want a way for my program to print out the revision it was built from.
Presumably, the revision of the working directory is the correct thing.
