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:

generate a build identifier for the working directory:
```
hg id --id > build-id.dat
```
find the revision corresponding to a tag:
```
hg id -n -r 1.3
```
check the most recent revision of a remote repository:
```
hg id -r tip http://selenic.com/hg/
```

Returns 0 if successful.
