how should I do this?

I use Mercurial a DVCS.

I can do this:

patrick@berrysoft:~/repo/dib/AnimationDemo$ hg id -i
ffd79a345811

which gives me the unique "revision" which I am compiling.  I'd like
to capture that string for use in Ant.  What would be the best way to
accomplish this?

You could use the exec task and the outputproperty attribute...
