+1 for a ``darcs status`` hidden alias. That seems reasonable and I know it has tripped up people from other SCSes. I'm mostly opposed to renaming ``darcs get`` and ``darcs changes``, but clone and log (respectively) are fine for hidden aliases.
The most useful other alias I can think of would be ``darcs info`` as a hidden alias for ``darcs show repo``. (Similar to ``svn info``, which apparently is a relatively common svn command for me. I've never mistakenly tried ``darcs info``, myself, but I have learned that neither hg nor git provide an info command either.)
``darcs repeal`` sounds silly to me, but I actually would be interested in a better name for rollback, _if_ we can find one (and one that isn't revert). I think rollback might be better used/more often used if it had a more descriptive name that emphasized the idea of recording an inverse of (part of) a patch. I don't have any good suggestions yet.
Also, the existing support for ``darcs commit`` seems perfectly informative to me (try it!).
