Comment(by pdmef):
After using 'test -d $(top_srcdir)/.hg && hg -R $(top_srcdir) ...', I
noticed another problem: the latest change to the tree need not be the
latest upstream change.
The release date was changed from static to be generated. For development
version it's now easier to find out/guess what revision people run. With
custom patches applied and/or mq, the date of 'tip' in hg is not
necessarily the date of the latest upstream change. This defeats the
original intention. Using network access to check the official repo is no
option, too.
So we need another solution I'd say.
