Versioning of OpenJDK forests

[Andrew John Hughes]

In testing OpenJDK6 prior to the release of b18, one issue that has
arisen is that the version output:

openjdk version "1.6.0-internal"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-internal-andrew_21_dec_2009_18_36-b00)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)

gives no indication as to what hg revisions were used (of which there
are 7, there being no whole forest id).

I'm thinking something like:

openjdk version "1.6.0-internal"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build
1.6.0-internal-andrew_21_dec_2009_18_36-b00:r<jdk rev id>)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16:r<hotspot rev id>, mixed mode)

might be helpful in diagnosing regressions between build drops.

Has there been any attempt to report repository versions at Sun,
either with hg or SCCS?
