This works for "darcs show patchindex --help" (but showing a one-line error message before showing the help of darcs show), but not for "darcs help show patchindex". Can you also fix the second case?

Are you sure? I get the same result for both. In fact, I think the --help already filed as expected before this patch and all I did was to bring the help command on par with --help. I should add a test to make sure.

I just tried again and I was wrong, this works in both cases! Accepted (it was already in the reviewed branch anyway).
