Bug Description

When a line has been partly parsed, parse errors should report what has already
been parsed, so that the user can match it up with the usage message, roughly:

End of line while looking for the branch to merge
Usage: merge NAME BRANCH [REVISION]

Line was:
merge foo

Parsed:
NAME=foo

This will help the user catch what is missing, when they forget a part in the middle
or something.
