pub const USAGE: &str = "\
  add [--note|--decision] [--tag TAG]… [--link ID]… [--body TEXT|-] [--start] TITLE…
            create a task (or note, decision) and print its id; `-` reads the body from stdin
  show ID   print an entry compactly: state, time, description, comments, related, history
  search WORDS…
            find entries by title, tags, description or comments (#tag: tags only)
  start|park|done|todo ID
            change a task's status (start runs its clock; a person runs one task at a time)
  comment ID TEXT…|-
            add a comment, e.g. progress notes
  ask ID TEXT…|-
            ask the user a question on a task and park it until a person answers with a comment
  wait ID [--timeout MINUTES]
            block until a person answers what task ID waits on (or decision ID is accepted or
            rejected), then print the answer; gives up after 8 minutes (0: never)
  propose ID [--tag TAG]… [--link ID]… [--body TEXT|-] TITLE…
            propose a decision for a task: linked to it, which asks about it and is parked
  accept ID [TEXT…|-]
  reject ID TEXT…|-
            accept or reject a decision, with why (needed to reject); answers a question that names it (#ID)
  describe ID TEXT…|-
            replace the description
  rename ID TITLE…
            replace the title (and its file's name)
  tag ID +TAG|-TAG…
            add tags to an entry (+TAG) or remove them (-TAG), in order
  tag OLD NEW
            rename a tag in every entry that has it
  link ID OTHER…
            link an entry to others: an id here, or REPO#ID in another repository of the project
  project [describe|notes TEXT…|-]
            show the project's description (shared by its repositories) and this repository's role,
            or replace one
  project rename NAME… | repo NAME | move PROJECT… | remove [--purge]
            rename the project, or this repository in it; move this repository to another project;
            take every repository of the project out (--purge: and delete their tasks)
