Erik,
It could be a feature of the build (i.e. test makefiles) to verify that
no source-controlled files were modified in the course of a test run.
A related, secondary feature could be to make sure that no new files
were written in directories containing source-controlled files (i.e.
src, make, test, etc). Together, these checks could be combined by
comparing the output of "hg status" before and after the test run.
Martin's suggestion to run on a read-only filesystem is also a good one,
but maybe harder for most people to set up (e.g. on a laptop or Dev
machine), so makefile checks would be nice.

I couldn't agree with you more, but AFAIK, this behavior is in the
tests themselves and not something the build is doing.

Hi,
if I try to run tests from make, after the test run an 'hg status'

What's up? Shouldn't this stuff end up in build folder?
