I'm attaching a proposal that aims at making the --unrecord flag more visible to users: * lists --unrecord first in the help of amend * trims obvious/unnecessary text from the help of amend and mention --unrecord at the second paragraph * rename amend --add to amend --record (as suggested by Ben Franksen) * renames amend-record to amend (leaves amend-record as alias) * removes the amend-unrecord alias The last two items seemed natural to me in that context. "amend" (or "amend --record") is the default mode and "amend --unrecord" is the substractive mode. Try "darcs help amend" with that patch. 1 patch for repository http://darcs.net: Thu Apr 10 13:49:24 ART 2014 Guillaume Hoffmann <guillaumh@gmail.com> * resolve issue2367: rename amend-record to amend, make --unrecord more visible also rename amend flag --add to --record Attachments patch-preview.txt resolve-issue2367_-rename-amend_record-to-amend_-make-__unrecord-more-visible.dpatch unnamed

No regrets about it, self-accept. Remember that amend-record is still present but as an hidden alias of amend.
