My take is that we should keep things simple by making amend/record
--no-test and push/send --test the default (interestingly push/send
--test would be after cherry picking of patches but before the actual
action).

Note that there is a pending list of default switches to swap around
on http://wiki.darcs.net/DefaultSwitches
