hg identify#
identify the working directory or specified revision#
Print a summary identifying the repository state at REV using one or two parent hash identifiers, followed by a “+” if the working directory has uncommitted changes, the branch name (if not default), a list of tags, and a list of bookmarks.
When REV is not given, print a summary of the current state of the repository including the working directory. Specify -r. to get information of the working directory parent without scanning uncommitted changes.
Specifying a path to a repository root or Mercurial bundle will cause lookup to operate on that repository/bundle.
