hg-prompt adds an 'hg prompt' command to Mercurial for viewing repository
information. It's designed to be used in a shell prompt. You can grab the code
from [the repository on BitBucket](http://bitbucket.org/sjl/hg-prompt/).

Check out the [documentation][docs] to find out how to use it.

Here's what it looks like:

Questions, Comments, Suggestions
--------------------------------

The code was kind of thrown together in one night after I got tired of
chaining three or four hg runs together to get what I wanted. I'm sure it's
not perfect, so if you've got a way to improve it please [add an
issue](http://bitbucket.org/sjl/hg-prompt/issues/) and let me know.
