I love the hg overview (or hg next) command (comes with the kiln client and tools in the gestalt download or the full windows installer).
in one command I can see the status of my working copy and any incoming or outgoing changesets, e.g.
adam@adam-vm-dev ~/code/foo
--- www-stable
parent repository: default
| Remote | << 0 | Local |
| Repository | 9 >> | Repository | working copy up-to-date
One request though:
overview considers the working copy "up-to-date" if there is nothing to commit. If I have some files that haven't been hg added yet, it doesn't tell me about them.
Can I modify the extension to tell me about those pesky files so I remember to commit and push them?
