In David's comment he says that it might be a problem if we ever have
something like a --file option.
So?
We need to make a decision either way -- I vote for -f standing for --force.
+1 for --force.
Reasoning: we want consistency of meaning between darcs subcommands
(i.e., -f should mean the same, no matter whether you "darcs record -f"
or "darcs unpull -f"). And I'm guessing 'force' will make sense for
more commands than 'file'.
By the same reasoning, 'file' probably wouldn't mean the same for all
subcommands; 'force' would.
Finally, the term 'file' very often means for a
file-under-darcs-control, which are normally passed at the end of the
command line, and not as a flag argument. So instead of an flag named
--file I would normally expect something more descriptive such as
--logfile or --commentfile or --outputfile.
