If you mean the latest Mercurial revision, please specify which one that is. "Latest tip" is not informative, because from the time you wrote "latest tip" to the time someone reads that message, "latest tip" might have changed meaning. Instead, report the output of "hg summary" or "hg id". Also please use hash numbers instead of revision numbers. Revision numbers are just a convenience and only make sense in your local repo, and might not coincide with what someone sees on their own repo. Hashes are globally unique across all repos. | If you mean the latest Mercurial revision, please specify which one that is.
