These two lines seem confusing to me. How about:
-edit the 'AFTER' part to be what you want to record for this part of
the file.

Hints about hunk-splitting then go into the manual, where they belong.
Help within the commands has to be generic, otherwise it implies that
the command is more limited than it really is.

If we want more details, add
- darcs will create a patch between the old state and your edited state,
and one between the edited state and the working copy, and ask you about
them.
