Thanks. I am including a file with something like this now:

;; bzr checkout info for Emacs unpatched version
(defconst emacs-trunk-bzr-revision-id
"address@hidden")
(defconst emacs-trunk-bzr-revno 99712)
(defconst emacs-trunk-bzr-date "2010-03-21 12:57:49 +0100")
(defconst emacs-trunk-bzr-branch-nick "trunk")

I suggested that should be recommended in the build process and
included in bug reports, but I got no responce.

I have forgotten. Was I using the wrong branch, or?
