Now I remember why I didn't want a file in the source tree. There's
absolutely no sensible way to have any entries there that give a
meaningful link to the actual details - you can't link to the rev until
it's merged, and you can't commit until the rev is written in it.

The only other option is dates which is way too vague (date when the
patch was written is a really poor indicator of when the change got
merged).

I guess keywords would help, except mercurial doesn't do them. Keir?
