New subject: [PATCH] Changed error message when morph deploy is given too few arguments
From: Ric Holland <richard.holland(a)codethink.co.uk>
Error message now gives short description of each required argument
rather than pointing to non-existent help text.

I wonder if it would be better to just tell them to check the
command-line from
`morph --help`, and make that help information more informative.
Currently the
help for deploy just says "Deploy a built system image" without
explaining what
TYPE, SYSTEM and LOCATION are. Either way, LOCATION is currently
under-documented and may require talking to the spirits to get the
correct text.

I think Jonathan is right: the right place for this is in the
subcommand's help. This is easy to do: add to the docstring to the
"deploy" method in DeployPlugin. It currently says just
"Deploy a built system image", and should include the extra text
you added to the error message. Could you prepare a new patch that
does that, please, Ric?

I don't see that branch on git.baserock.org. Did you push it?
