            Bug ID: 5622
           Summary: hg id option to not check for modified files
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 4.1.2
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature
          Priority: wish
         Component: Mercurial
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: jeffpc at josefsipek.net
                CC: mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org

'hg id' has options to tailor what sort of identifying information to print,
but it doesn't have an option to omit the dirty-working-directory check (and
the resulting '+').

When the dirty status is not wanted, all the work done by 'hg id' to lstat()
every file is a latency-inducing waste.  (This is particularly painful because
of bug 5621.)

(Yes, one can use "hg log -r . -T '{node|short}'", etc. to get the same
information, but it just seems like something that the id command should be
able to do as a short-hand.)
