That information is not currently recorded. I suppose it would be OK
to store the changeset ID in the binary, but since anyone can create a
Mercurial archive, with their own changes, it may not be entirely
helpful. I mean, it would not always be the revision ID of a
changeset in our public archive, right? If you want this feature,
then propose a patch. I'm unlikely to make such a change without a
contributed patch.
