Proving ownership of code with mercurial?

[Francesc Esplugas]

I want to prove all the work I've done. I understand some of my code  
can be a copy and paste from other projects or other developers, but  
the idea is to prove I've been working on the project.

Proving the integrity (hg verify) of the repository, could prove  
nobody hacked it?
