That makes sense.  I try to make my builds as independent as I can from any outside changes (and not depend on anything), but in this case, it is probably worth it.  I assume you are suggesting do a one time clone to my build server, then before each build do a pull?

If that's the case, why not configure your build server to build directly from an hg repo? A pull will give you a much smaller payload than downloading a tarball every time, unless you're doing something hg wasn't designed for (tracking large, poorly-compressible files).
