But have you tried my test with your patch? I experimented with
reload too, but, at least here, this doesn't change anything.
That's why, in practice, I've found no other way to adapt the
version on first run but by always overwriting.

See also issue460, or
Message-ID: <9246b6b50612221117i9e84d56ge27f9d69bbcf9e7 at mail.gmail.com>
in the mercurial list.

And, AFAICS, nothing besides setup.py actually calls
rememberversion(), so there's no overhead in runtime, and
shouldn't the main purpose of a version script be that it returns
the right version?

Otherwise I'd recommend my keyword extension, hehe ;)
