Details - This is a build issue for packages which are using the Mercurial (hg) source code control system. The DownloadMethod/hg tries to re-stamp the files, but the method to do so seems insufficient.

My current fix is this one (without any claim of correctness or completeness), it allows me to make the builds as before the timestamping change was implemented.
