hg identify [-nibtB] [-r REV] [SOURCE]
aliases: id
identify the working copy 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.
Specifying a path to a repository root or Mercurial bundle will cause lookup to operate on that repository/bundle.
Examples:
hg id --id > build-id.dat
hg id -n -r 1.3
hg id -r tip http://selenic.com/hg/
Returns 0 if successful.
