After some internal discussion, and taking into account the
already-voiced opinions here in favor of it, I'll be adding Mercurial
Tags to the repositories to indicate the Hotspot Build number.
I plan to go all the way back to the release of Hotspot 16 and tag as
appropriate. All future HSX work will include the proper tags.
The tags will be of the form:
hsX-bY
where X is the Hotspot major version number OR the major.minor version
number (e.g. 16 or 16.1 )
Y is the build number, two digits in length, with a leading 0 if
necessary. (e.g. 09 or 12 )
Thus, tags will look like:
hs16-b13
or
hs16.1-b02
This change should make determination of what is included in a HSX build
simpler, and cloning much easier.
Please refer to the Mercurial documentation for how to use Tags during
cloning or other operations.
