How about this solution, then?

I'd prefer to keep it ``query manifest``, with perhaps aliases for
``query list`` and/or ``query ls``.  I don't think ``query list`` is
very informative in nature and seems, broadly speaking, just about as
redundant as ``query query`` (``query ls`` makes a bit more sense due
to it being a common unix tool name, but only by a slight margin).  In
fact, I'm wondering if ``list`` might instead make a good alias for
``query`` itself:

 darcs list manifest
 darcs list tags
 ...
 darcs list files
 darcs list patches since 2005 from an author named "Wunderkind"
ordered by number of files modified # darcs needs an NLP-style query
language, right? :-P
 darcs list celebratory wines  # just kidding

``list`` and/or ``ls`` are bit kinder to type than ``query``, too.
