yes, but it should actually detect that it's not at the latest revision available. Triggering a build manually should not rely on 
the "hg pull" to emit new changes, because if the update to the "tip" revision was missed last time, it gets missed again and 
again...until finally a new commit is added to the repository.
Another scenario would include a person logging into the build machine and doing a "hg update" on the command line, such that the 
sources point to a completely unrelated revision!

Bill, can we somehow add an "always-update-to-latest-revision" step for the manual trigger? We should be safe for normal commits 
because we have a corresponding commit ID there, right?

Best regards,

Dirk
