I am not, in fact I can recall only 2 times of ever seeing an hg update 
actually done.  Perhaps 2 weeks ago, unforch, I don't get dates from the 
repo here, but dates its created on my system, which is less than helpful 
when trying to define  this for troubleshooting.

Curious, I moved to my home/src directory and did a fresh clone yesterday, 
so I should have a whole new, uptodate tree.  Nothing in either repo image 
is newer than the middle of may.  None of those makefile fixes are 
appearing here, and the local home dir version doesn't build.  Missing 
makefiles, old style defs names, you name it, there is probably an example 
in my last clone from yesterday.

I'm with you on this one Robert, running hg is so murky, and the man page 
is too little help as its 6 pages long and has so many un-explained options 
as to be worthless.  You can't find the tree for all that forest.

Cheers, Gene
