  * print "optionname;description" pairs with --list-options
  
  As discussed on the mailing list, this allows shell completion to display
  the descriptions alongside the options when chosing from a menu. For
shells
  that do not support this, the completion script should just drop
everything
  from the semicolon up to the end of the line.

  * improve file completion
  
  - add modifiedFileArgs and use it for amend, record, revert, whatsnew
  - rebase log doesn't currently support file arguments so use noArgs
  - list only files that are not yet given as command line arguments
  - use readUnrecordedFiltered from D.R.State which is more efficient
    since it can use the index

  In bash there is no way to display help for an option along with the
option
  itself, so the best we can do is to ignore the help text.

Added a second bundle that adapts tests/disable.sh such as to filter out
everything after semicolon when calling darcs with --list-options.

Seems good, accepted!


Note for people who want to test this bundle on a Linux machine that
also has an older darcs package installed (be it Debian, Ubuntu, etc.),
overwrite the file /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/darcs with
./contrib/darcs_completion from the repository.
