I agree with that philosophy. Sadly, we don't follow it consistently. For
example, "svn copy a b c" gives no error message but instead gives the full
help text for "svn copy".

Would anyone object to us following that philosophy consistently? ("svn copy a
b c" would then give an error message and not show the full help text.)
