- Add |anyapplied, |anyunapplied, |anycount, and |nondefault filters.
- |anyapplied, |anyunapplied, |anycount, are filters to patch and when applied will make
 change the behavior so that if no patches are present then nothing will be printed
- |nondefault is a filter for branch that will stop anything being printed if the branch
 is the default one.  So only non-default branches are printed.

Installation
============

Installing `hg-prompt` requires [Python][] 2.5+ and (obviously) Mercurial.

[Python]: http://python.org/

First, clone the repository:

    :::console
    $ hg clone http://bitbucket.org/sjl/hg-prompt/

Edit the `[extensions]` section in your `~/.hgrc` file:

    :::cfg
    [extensions]
    prompt = (path to)/hg-prompt/prompt.py

Make sure everything is working:

    :::console
    $ hg prompt 'test'
    test

Take a look at the [Quick Start][] guide to learn how to put some useful information into your shell prompt.
