scm.exe documentation

Is the scm command documented anywhere?

'scm help' will tell me about the scm options, commands and sub-commands, but I can't find any way of finding out what arguments are required for any particular sub-command. For example, 'scm help list' tells me that there's a sub-command called 'remotefiles' but this appears to require additional arguments, and I can't find out what these are (other than by guesswork).

You can run 'scm help list name-of-the-subcommand-you-care-about', so 'scm help list rf' will tell you the arguments to show the remote files. Then end of the 'scm help list' message states this.

The required arguments change depending on your location in the filesystem. If you're running in a directory that you've loaded or shared, then you don't need to specify a repository for (most) operations.
