By invoking single 'summary' command we can get more info about repository state: parent revisions, current branch, tags, bookmarks, commit status, available updates and phase.
I guess the questions are:- Is this output better than the previous one? Hopefully others will chime in, e.g. Daniel, who wrote some major improvements to vc-hg a few years ago.
- Is 'hg summary' stable enough? Maybe a few years from now Mercurial changes its output and this code stops working in all Emacs we'd have released in the meantime? This is why we try to use "porcelain" level commands (in Git terminology) when possible, not user-level.
