[darcs-users] `darcs annotate -p` misnamed

Hi

I would like some feedback on a comment I got today.  I ran through my  
NWRUG slides with a client who I use git with.  He's never seen darcs  
in action.  When I got to the one titled "Annotating a patch" he was  
completely baffled.  The name annotate doesn't make sense in the  
context of displaying a patch's contents.

(BTW, I also find the name unintuitive.  It was only when researching  
for the slides I found this at all.  And I've been using darcs for  
about 2 years!)

I have a feeling `annotate -p` may be better under a different darcs  
command.  Maybe as an option to `darcs changes` or `darcs show`.   
Perhaps `darcs show patch ...`?

WDYT?

Ashley
