There are commit hooks, but you can't change any version controled file in that hook, as that would make the changeset different between server and local repo. You could execute that change after executing the commit, but that would require doing an additional changeset just for the change of version.h. The latter would be similar to using a shared (Mercurial-)tag, but a tag has the advantage that it can be used to name revisions, as in hg diff -r hrev40222 -r hrev40229 cheers, Oliver
