I'm thinking about pointing people from `hg id -r x --debug`
to `hg log -T {node} -r x`

We probably can't really introduces templater support for `hg id`. This 
is one of this antediluvian command with a strange contract. `hg id` can 
be used on a remote repository (to know the hash of various name there). 
In the remote case we do not have any infrastructure to build changectx 
and feed them to the templater.

(Well we could make stuff work for the local case, but meh)

Pointing at hg log -T and hg summary is probably a better experience for 
current `hg id` user.
