Hi Goffredo

Thanks for the patch.

I took in the change to make just 'bzr' show help. 

I'm not so sure about showing all commands from 'bzr help'; people had
a bad reaction to the enormous number of commands listed by arch and
I'd like the main help screen to be more of a how-to than a reference.
