Add a .hgignore so that we can also have ignored files

  $ echo ".*\.o" > .hgignore
  $ hg status
  ? .hgignore
  ? a
  ? b
  $ hg status -i
  I x/aa.o
  I x/bb.o

Tersing ignored files
  $ hg status -t i --ignored
  I x/

Adding more files
  $ mkdir y
  $ touch x/aa x/bb y/l y/m y/l.o y/m.o
  $ touch x/l/aa x/m/aa x/n/aa x/l/u/bb x/l/u/a/bb

  $ hg status
  ? .hgignore
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/aa
  ? x/bb
  ? x/l/aa
  ? x/l/u/a/bb
  ? x/l/u/bb

  ? x/n/aa
  ? y/l
  ? y/m

  $ hg status --terse u
  ? .hgignore

  ? y/

  $ hg add x/aa x/bb .hgignore
  $ hg status --terse au
  A .hgignore

  ? a

Including ignored files

  $ hg status --terse aui
  A .hgignore
  A x/aa
  A x/bb
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/l/
  ? x/m/
  ? x/n/
  ? y/l
  ? y/m
  $ hg status --terse au -i
  I x/aa.o
  I x/bb.o
  I y/l.o
  I y/m.o

Committing some of the files

  $ hg commit x/aa x/bb .hgignore -m "First commit"
  $ hg status
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/l/aa
  ? x/l/u/a/bb
  ? x/l/u/bb
  ? x/m/aa
  ? x/n/aa
  ? y/l
  ? y/m
  $ hg status --terse mardu
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/l/
  ? x/m/
  ? x/n/
  ? y/

Modifying already committed files

  $ echo "Hello" >> x/aa
  $ echo "World" >> x/bb
  $ hg status --terse maurdc
  M x/aa
  M x/bb
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/l/
  ? x/m/
  ? x/n/
  ? y/

Respecting other flags

  $ hg status --terse marduic --all
  M x/aa
  M x/bb
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/l/
  ? x/m/
  ? x/n/
  ? y/l
  ? y/m
  I x/aa.o
  I x/bb.o
  I y/l.o
  I y/m.o
  C .hgignore
  $ hg status --terse marduic -a
  $ hg status --terse marduic -c
  C .hgignore
  $ hg status --terse marduic -m
  M x/aa
  M x/bb

Passing 'i' in terse value will consider the ignored files while tersing

  $ hg status --terse marduic -u
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/l/
  ? x/m/
  ? x/n/
  ? y/l
  ? y/m

Omitting 'i' in terse value does not consider ignored files while tersing

  $ hg status --terse marduc -u
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/l/
  ? x/m/
  ? x/n/
  ? y/

Trying with --rev

  $ hg status --terse marduic --rev 0 --rev 1
  abort: cannot use --terse with --rev
