[Python-apps-team] Bug#520822: mercurial: ``hg strip --help'' offers a "-f" option, but option does not exist

Package: mercurial
Version: 1.0.1-5.1
Severity: minor
As stated in the subject.
| hg strip [-f] [-b] [-n] REV
|
| strip a revision and all later revs on the same branch
|
| options:
|
| -b --backup bundle unrelated changesets
| -n --nobackup no backups
|
| use "hg -v help strip" to show global options
But if I try to use ``hg strip -f 497'', it shows the help page again
(probably indicating a usage error).
Or - "-f" is poorly documented and should be used in some other way than
I did (I supposed it to be something like "force").
In hgext/mq.py:2378 I found the code for showing the "-f".
