'darcs record' could give more helpful feedback when I try to record a
file that doesn't exist (because I'm confused about my about my place
in the world...or at least my location in the Unix file system). 

Here's what it looks like now:

 $ darcs record  Foo/PhysListingAdmin.pm
 Recording changes in "www/Templates/Foo/PhysListingAdmin.pm":
 
 Ok, if you don't want to record anything, that's fine!

Here's what I think should happen instead:

 $ darcs record  Foo/PhysListingAdmin.pm
 Recording changes in "www/Templates/Foo/PhysListingAdmin.pm":
 www/Templates/Foo/PhysListingAdmin.pm was not found!

I suppose if any file is not found, it may be best to abort the record
at that point.
