I don't have an objection in principle to this patch, but it needs to
be made to work properly and that's difficult.

We haven't in the past made tags for every revision that is mentioned
in QEMU_TAG in xen-{*-testing,unstable}.hg.  In principle I guess we
could retrospectively make such tags.  (I think it is necessary that
"hg clone; hg up <revision>; make" should always work even if
<revision> is very old.)

Also I'm worried that some old versions of git may not have --depth.

Ian.
