Export a copy, and modify that. In fact, I strongly urge checking out
a pristine copy from revision control for real production builds.
I derive my build numbers from the Eclipse revision I'm building. I
inject that into the AndroidManifest.xml via an XSLT ant task.
I've been meaning to write up my build practices for a while; I keep
holding off for certain refinements, but I really should get to it
soon, since it's a recurring issue for people.
