No, because the versions.cfg in the tag does not actually contain
'grok = 0.12.1'.  The tag (and any branch and trunk) use a development
egg of grok from the src/ directory.  And that is probably how it
should stay.

If you change the bundlemaker section in buildout.cfg on the tag to
read:

  [bundlemaker]
  recipe = z3c.recipe.eggbasket:creator
  egg = grok
  versionfile = versions.cfg

and then run bin/buildout and bin/bundlemaker it will say:

  ERROR eggbasket.utils The main egg (grok) has not been pinned in the
  version file (versions.cfg).

We could perhaps change the versions.cfg on the tag (or maybe branches
and trunk as well) to contain a pinned grok version.  For bundlemaker
that would be good.  It looks like the other recipes do not actually
do anything with that particular pinning; at least the files in bin/
do not contain a reference to the grok 0.12.1 egg but only to src.

It sounds a bit fishy though.  And on trunk (the future 0.13) it is a
bit strange to pin grok to the not yet existing 0.13 egg or to the
0.12.1 egg.

Great!
