Complete bzr newbie here. Hi. Nice to see the list
is nice and lively.

Guilty. But if you want a really "fresh eye"
opinion, I would have taken it as obvious that
'bzr help' would list all commands. 

If the problem is the fact that there are a lot of
commands (40), I think anyone using the
command-line interface to bzr would rather use a
pager than be spoonfed. I know I would.

The separation of "basic" commands from others
belongs in a tutorial, IMHO.

I don't know whether this has been debated before,
but just my .02.
