That's correct. But the downside is that this is only useful if the changeset that tags the build changeset is the very next changeset after the build changeset. If you just pull in the changeset that changes .hgtags, it's possible that it happened much further down the line, and you end up pulling a bunch of "real" gate changes that you don't actually want. Now, if everyone's careful to tag immediately, then it should be safe. Danek
