Does Git have any command equivalent to Mercurial's "hg id"? I.e. a command that prints the parent commit's hash and a plus sign if there are changes in the working directory?

Description. The hg command provides a command line interface to the Mercurial system.
hg commit: save your changes in the current repository. hg log: see all changes in your repository. hg pull: get all changes from another repository into the current one. hg push: get all changes from your repository into another one.
Hg Init: a Mercurial tutorial. Mercurial is a modern, open source, distributed version control system, and a compelling upgrade from older systems like Subversion. In this user-friendly, six-part tutorial, Joel Spolsky teaches you the key concepts.
This command is equivalent to hg id --id:
git describe --abbrev=12 --always --dirty=+

git log -1 HEAD^
will show you the whole commit including the SHA-1
If it's a merge, you can see the second parent's commit info with
git log -1 HEAD^2
If you have an octopus merge with more than 2 parents you can put any number in the tree-ish spec:
git log -1 HEAD^5
... to see the 5th parent's commit info
the -1 just limits the log output to one commit. You don't want the lineage of that commit reported.
