In longer term, I'll consider this, but without discussion on -users, I try
not to add short options. The reason is that the constraint is that each
short option should only have one meaning with darcs, for any command, so
they are quite limited. Therefore, the plan is to only accept short
options after discussion, and preferably only after a "comprehensive"
discussion, meaning a discussion of the merits of all the short commands.
