Well, it still has the invalid ~/.bzr.conf at the bottom :)

It definitely generates a more complete man page. And I think I like it.
I don't remember what the specific complaints were in the past. But I've
read through it, and this is my list of small issues.

The tutorial.txt conflicts, which I don't really know how to fix. It
looks like it could all just be included.

I would probably rather the code was inside bzrlib rather than being in
tools.

There are some minor PEP8 issues

I wonder if some of the hidden commands could show up in the man page,
perhaps in a separate location, or maybe an alternate man page.

You updated the NEWS to say "use bzr-infogen.py" but that file doesn't
exist.

Otherwise, I would be happy to merge it. I'm sorry things get dropped.
There tends to be a lot going on. I'd really like to see a review list
worked out.
