Comment:

 It looks like in attachment:fix-cli-synopses-2.darcs.patch it ''does''
 change the command name to a hardcoded {{{tahoe}}} if {{{argv[0]}}}
 suggests {{{trial}}}. Is that intentional? I don't mind too much either
 way. Note that there is an "application name" which is [http://tahoe-
 lafs.org/trac/tahoe-
 lafs/browser/trunk/setup.py?annotate=blame&rev=5071#L41 produced by the
 build system] and written into {{{src/allmydata/_appname.py}}}, in a
 similar vein to the way the version number is produced by the build system
 and written into {{{src/allmydata/_version.py}}}, but there is not
 currently an ''executable name'' that is produced by the build system. One
 could imagine the build system producing an executable name, such as by
 writing it into {{{src/allmydata/_execname.py}}}, and then all the places
 in the code, including this place, which need to use an executable name
 could refer to that.

 (New ticket?)

 Other than that, {{{+1}}} on this patch! Please apply.
