I know this post is pretty old, but I’d figure I’d chime in with some comments just in case you didn’t know about them.

You don’t need your jig to see a list of files with the same status. You can tell ‘hg status’ to only show files with a specific status with options -m, -a, -r, -d, -c, -u and -i. You can combine them if you want to include several statuses.

That takes care of the ‘egrep’ part of your jig. To replace the ‘awk’ part, just pass the -n (–no-status) option and it won’t print the prefix. So ‘hg status -mn’ will give you a list of the modified files without printing the ‘M’ prefix.

As for the prompt info part, I wrote an extension to make adding Mercurial information to your shell prompt much easier — you might find it useful: http://stevelosh.com/projects/hg-prompt

I was alerted to an issue with the current rdiff plugin by a coworker of mine. Apparently the latest version in the rdiff repository uses some stuff from the latest version of mercurial, not the current stable release of 1.0.2.

I’ve updated the instructions above accordingly to clone the rdiff repository at a revision number that works with mercurial 1.0.2. If you have a more recent version of mercurial, you might be able to get the tip of rdiff and have that work.
