I have application I want to print out (in “about” box) its revision/version from mercurial. Suppose it is revision deadbeef so it will know that. In old times in CVS could use something like $Revision$ to substitute automatically.
What is best practice with Mercurial for this?
Mercurial’s Keyword Extension is probably what you want. It supports the
$Revision$format pretty much exactly.
