It would be nice if

  darcs --match help

or

  darcs --match-help

would show all possible matching rules.

I keep forgetting them, and --help is always closer than the manual.

Sounds like a good idea, but I think that

  darcs help --match

would be a better solution.  It would have the same format as ordinary
darcs commands, which would make our command-line parsing prettier and the
code cleaner, and would readily be extended to add other darcs help topics
(and darcs help --help could list what help topics are available!).

darcs help --match has made it to dacrs 1.0.9.  Thanks for the idea.  Resolving.
