The following transcript demonstrates the issue:

    $ darcs --version
    1.0.9rc1 (release candidate 1)

    $ darcs --exact-version
    darcs compiled on Nov 12 2006, at 05:43:35
    # configured Mon Oct  9 15:12:44 EDT 2006
    ./configure --no-create --no-recursion

    Context:

    [TAG 1.0.9rc1
    Tommy Pettersson <ptp@lysator.liu.se>**20061008175207]

    $ darcs help pull | sed -n 2p
    Usage: darcs pull [OPTION]... [REPOSITORY]

I contend that the last command should read

    $ darcs help pull | sed -n 2p
    Usage: darcs pull [OPTION]... [REPOSITORY]...

The same issue exists in the printed manual (section 6.6.2, page 62).

A patch would be welcome.  Pull.lhs, you can find the relevant code pretty
easily.  I think the manual is generated from the Haskell code, so one
change should do it.
