Having to do a make clobber just to have a clean "hg stat" seems a bit sketchy to me; it'd be best to see what's wrong with your expected stat output without having to force a rebuild afterwards. With snapshots, you could make it work, but I'd rather see the build objects go into a separate part of the tree, I think. Danek
