In my first use of bzr I failed to notice the important bzr help
command and bzr help commands, because they are hidden in that last
line with no space at the end. I think it will not happen when they are
formatted just like any other command.
While fixing this, I added the missing help line for commit.
And last, I removed the word "pull" from the help of "merge" because
"pull" is another command, and this might confuse the reader.

There are some more problems, that I'm not sure how to solve:
bzr init makes this branch versioned
bzr help commands says: "Make a directory into a versioned branch."
seems more correct.
bzr mv move or rename a versioned file
there is bzr move and bzr rename - is this a third option? confusing
bzr status summarize changes in working copy
show summary of changes in this branch?
The help should talk about the same terms, at least in the same screen
:).
I'm not sure there is point to repeat "this branch" "this branch", all
commands work on "this branch", expect "merge" which use "another
branch" and copy which copy one branch to new location.
