Yes. That was/is the purpose. To work file-wise, not
repository-wide. Which is why this goes against the spirit of a
DSCM ;)

I'm not sure I understand. You mean the node corresponding to
"hg identify"? I think this would be easier to implement, almost
with a decode filter. But that would only make sense for
"hg archive", otherwise all configured files would be rewritten
on a commit.

Hm. version.py mainly writes __version__.py. Do you mean
something like that?
