Well, to give some perspective, the hg command to do what you want is hg status -i.

There are equivalent options to the hg status command to list only added, deleted, modified, deleted on disk but still tracked, files in the repo that are neither ignored nor tracked, and files that match the current checked-out commit. Admittedly, git status shows more information, but then again, hg usually doesn't need you to know about what you current state is to predict what will happen when you run a command.
