Trying, for the command help:

  """The --change option can also be used as a shortcut to list
     the changed files of a revision."""

For a merge, the status is from the second parent, which is consistent
with diff --change.
And for the option help:
  "list changed files of a revision"

But I could go for "show" instead of "list" and I don'know if it's "of"
or "for" a revision.
