I'm going with initialize.  I almost went with init, but decided that since
init will be accepted if I choose initialize, I may as well go with the
complete word.

One probably under-appreciated feature of darcs is that it will accept any
unambiguous beginning of a command name.  So you can use "darcs wh" for
whatsnew and darcs init for either inittree or initialize.  If you give an
ambiguous name, darcs will complain and list the commands that have that
beginning.
