I often have phone/chat/email conversations that go like this:
Guy: "I'm having problem X with your software that I checked out
of the repository."
Me: "Which configuration did you build?"
Guy: "Which what? Oh, I don't remember. Y, or maybe Z. How do
I check?"
At which point I usually go over to their office and take over
the keyboard.
I think there needs to be at the very least a command "Is this
directory consistent with configuration X" which means "for each
directory listed in config X, does the tree-version match that in
the config." This is robust with manual tweaking, unlike leaving
some kind of dropping somewhere when a config is built.
What you'd really want is "what config(s) is this set of trees
consistent with" but that seems harder.
