Why does Darcs even have an --edit-long-comment switch?  AFAIK the term
"long comment" is meaningless in Darcs -- there are only patch names and
patch descriptions.

Glancing at the source it seems to me that only AmendRecord and Record
use --edit-long-comment, and in the same fashion as other commands use
--edit-description.  Therefore it seems like a good idea to me to make
--edit-long-comment a hidden alias for --edit-description.
