I'd rather like to keep this discussion focused on what I proposed:
renaming the *current* "manifest" command to "files", that is, having
"files" in the list of commands that are shown on "hg help" instead of
"manifest" and keeping the command name "manifest" as an alias and for
backward compatibility.

In this patch (and thread), I have *not* proposed to add a new command.
