How can I find my working revision in mercurial

Question

In a mercurial repo I can run hg up {revision} to change the revision of my working directory, but what command can I run to discover what revision I\'m looking at?

Answer 1

Another option is to enable the graphlog extension, then run hg glog. You'll see output like this (bear in mind I use a template to change the output):

The node/revision with the @ symbol is where you are.
