            Bug ID: 5850
           Summary: hg id --template {node} prints strange node
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 4.5.2
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature
          Priority: wish
         Component: Mercurial
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: vgatien-baron at janestreet.com
                CC: mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org

I expect passing "-r ." to "hg id" and not passing a "-r" flag to be
equivalent, except perhaps the "+" is the status is unclean (the documentation
says "identify the working directory or specified revision").

But I observe this instead on all versions >= 4.3 (ie since hg id supports
--template, which is great btw, I wish this change had been documented in the
changelog):

$ ./hg id --template '{node}\n'
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
$ ./hg id --template '{node}\n' -r .
