How about "tahoe put --help"?  Is that helpful?

So for starters, we should add a note to "tahoe --help" which  
suggests that you run "tahoe <command> --help".

The "wrong number of arguments" is because "tahoe put" requires both  
a local filename and a target file name.  There is an open ticket to  
make it assume that the virtual file name is the same as the local  
file name, the same way that "cp" and "mv" do on linux: #112.

There are a bunch of open tickets to improve the cli, all assigned to  
me.  Here is the report that lists them all: [1].

While I really like the cli and I really want to improve it in these  
ways, my schedule is full of other work (see The Roadmap [2]) for at  
least the next two months.

So if someone else wants to step up and become the heroic hacker of  
cli improvements, now is the time.  You can gain the gratitude of  
your peers (starting with me), and a place in the CREDITS file.
