Hi Magnus,

We are currently using "hg tip" to create the "source_tips" file, and
correspondingly for the closed bundles.
But this is incorrect. It will show the latest committed version in the
repo, not the actual workspace (i.e. the version we actually build).
For this, we should use "hg id" instead. If we have a clean workspace
updated to the tip, it will produce the same output. Otherwise it will
show what we build, with a traliing "+" if there are local,
non-committed changed.
So hg id doesn't actually help in someone else recreating the same
sources as a build, because they won't have access to the uncommitted
changes. This is simply an indicator that this build has such
uncommitted changes. Is that right?
Thanks,

Also, we should not name the file "tip" in this case.
And finally, we do not need to sprinkle these files all around in all
repos. The entire handling should be more clearly abstracted.
