Maybe because VC as a framework isn't really aware of branches, and that 
notion is fairly different among the backends.

But if it turns out that Hg tags are the same as Git branches, or Hg has 
a corresponding notion of branches, I think we should show them. Whether 
it is together with the revision number, or instead, should be decided 
by someone who uses Hg.

That sounds like a poor rephrasing.

Would you consider it unimportant if you commit and push a change to 
emacs-25, when you intended to push it to master?
