small corrections to Bazaar-NG Tutorial

Hello,

I just read the Bazaar-NG tutorial
(http://bazaar-ng.org/tutorial.html), and found a few mistakes, 6 to
be exact (typos mostly). Thought I'd post them here, as the document
ask for corrections. Some "corrections" may be a bit nitpicking, feel
free to ignore them of course :-)
Anyway, here goes:

1) Near the end of the part "How DRCS is different" there's this
sentence: "For example, with Bazaar-NG developer can take the
modifications in one branch of software and apply them". It should
'developers'.

2) Near the top of "Introducing yourself to Bazaar-NG" there's this
sentence: ""One function of a version control system is to keep track
". Previously, it has always  been referred to as a RCS instead of a
VCS. Not sure of this is intentional, but maybe it's better to stick
to the same name, to avoid confusion.

3) Next, in the same section, thee methodes are listed to change the
e-mail address. However, they're all preceded by the item number "1.",
instead of "1.", "2." & "3.".

4) The second paragraph In the part "Creating a branch" has this
sentence: "As for CVS, there are three classes of file: unknown,
ignored, and versioned.". I think it should be: "As with CVS, [...]",
because "As for CVS" implies that you're going to talk about CVS now.

5) The part "Message from an editor" contains this sentence: "The
editor to run is controlled by your $EDITOR environment variable or
(Post Bazaar-NG 0.6) email setting in ."
email setting in what? (Also, to be 100% correct, it should be
"e-mail" (i.e. with a dash ;-)), but that's nitpicking heh.)

6) The part "Removing uncommitted changes" contains this sentence:
"It's a good idea to use bzr diff first to see what will be removed."
I think "removed" is not accurate here, as things could be added as
well... So maybe "reverted" is a better word. But of course it's
totally understandable that way as well...

Very good tutorial, I liked its style a lot and learned much from it!

Thanks,
