"hg history" should tell you what you need to know.  They're listed in
reverse order by date, so "latest" is almost always the one you want,
but if you need to, you can also use "hg tags" to get information
about the node IDs corresponding to particular builds (minus any
respins).

Use "hg history" to find out what you have.

Right ... though it varies.  It's often good for at least a few days,
and then you'll need to specify a particular node.

One way to simplify the problem is to merge only with known bi-weekly
builds, rather than just the repository of the moment.  Those build
tags will always have node IDs that are in the list.
