How to determine if I'm in a hg or git directory via `:vcs_info:`?

:vcs_info: seems to know if you're in a git or hg directory if you enable it:

zstyle ':vcs_info:*' enable git hg

i.e., you can modify your prompt in this way.

How can I tap into that data so that I can write an if condition? e.g.

if [[ $some_magic_zstyle_vcs_info_variable ]]; then
    echo "I'm in a git dir!"
fi

mafredi offered a better solution:

zstyle ':vcs_info:*' enable git hg
zstyle ':vcs_info:*' max-exports 3
zstyle ':vcs_info:(git|hg):*' formats ' %b' 'x%R' '%s'
zstyle ':vcs_info:(git|hg):*' actionformats ' %b|%a' 'x%R' '%s'

...

if [[ "$vcs_info_msg_2_" == "git" ]]; then
    # git
fi

if [[ "$vcs_info_msg_2_" == "hg" ]]; then
    # hg
fi

i.e., the %s will put the VCS name into $vcs_info_msg_2_.
