title: How to check which branch you are on with mercurial
body: <p>What is the best way to check which branch I am on with mercurial?</p>
  
  <pre><code>hg log -l 5
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This seems to show me the latest commits in the repo and not about working state as git would, so I'm looking for something like <code>git status</code> I suppose, which would tell me what branch I am on.  <code>hg status</code> doesn't show me anything.</p>
