For what it is worth, every now and then I do

mkdir new
cd new
darcs pull http://mnetproject.org/repos/mnet

And then I'm confused by the results until I remember that "get" and 
"pull" are separate.  This shows that those two commands are very close 
together in my mind.  Anyway if you are going to keep them separate 
then maybe "darcs pull" should immediately emit a warning/explanation 
and exit when there is no repository in the current directory.
