[issue291] hg stat enhancement

[McClain Looney]

New submission from McClain Looney <mcclain.looney at oracle.com>:

I'm putting together a mercurial plugin for eclipse, and would very much like hg
stat (or id or tip) enhanced to output something when issued on an individual
up-to-date file.

For instance: 

'hg stat -verbose file'
would yield output similar to 'tip', but contain info for the last time the file
was committed:
changeset:   8:410acbb79ac7
tag:         
user:        mlooney at blah.com
date:        Mon Jun 19 09:38:56 2006 -0500
summary:     commit test passes

I'd also find a non-recursive stat for directories (functioning in the same way
as above) quite handy.

Currently, I fork an hg stat process, and have to check for empty stderr and a 0
return code to figure out if a file is up to date. There's no useful information
available from stat on a directory at all (since it just runs stat on its children).
