== DESCRIPTION

The meaning of the letters are the following:

----
A             Alias.
              Example: darcs-git check does exactly the same as git fsck.
Y             Yes, supported, and dg adds some extra features.
              Example: darcs-git push tries to find out what will be pushed.
W             Supported unintentionally, because the darcs-git wrapper calls
                git <subcommand> for all unknown commands.
              Example: darcs-git mv
N             Not supported.
