Exactly!

  % fossil commit --help | grep \|
     -m|--comment COMMENT-TEXT  use COMMENT-TEXT as commit comment
     -M|--message-file FILE     read the commit comment from given file
     -n|--dry-run               If given, display instead of run actions

As for me short does not mean that will be well remembered. Short does
mean frequently used. For longs

  % fossil commit --help | grep -- "  --[a-z]" | wc -l
  17

we have `--help' option.
