$ darcs show

Subcommands:

  index          Dump contents of working tree index.
  pristine       Alias for `darcs index'.

darcs index doesn't exist, and darcs show index returns different
information. I'm not quite sure what is intended by this help message,
otherwise I'd fix it myself.

I think we mean 'darcs show index'

I think that was what was intended by the text "Alias for...", but it's
still not true :-)

The following patch updated the status of issue1750 to be resolved:

* Resolve issue1750: uncover help text for darcs show pristine. 
Ignore-this: 46c8575ff5889d6092f9e5a221275732
f r { foo = bar } means           f (r { foo = bar })
whereas what we really wanted was (f r) { foo = bar }
