Bug Description

Rob Collins helped me work around the inability to do partial commits while there are pending merges. Part of the work around involved determining the parent ID of the merge. This was only possible by running a python one-liner[1] to invoke bzrlib. It would be nice if this information (parent ID of merges) was available through the bzr tool itself.

Maybe through status --show-ids, or some other advanced option to status?
