The 4-character indents on "help commands" may just be the worst
possible size.
bzr add [FILE...]
Add specified files or directories.
bzr annotate FILENAME
Show the origin of each line in a file.
bzr branch FROM_LOCATION [TO_LOCATION]
Create a new copy of a branch.
[...]
It makes the list very hard to scan by eye for particular commands,
since the command lines up perfectly with the description line.
Shifting to 8-characters makes it much nicer, since you can easily
parse out the commands without having to actually _read_ the lines.
bzr add [FILE...]
Add specified files or directories.
bzr annotate FILENAME
Show the origin of each line in a file.
bzr branch FROM_LOCATION [TO_LOCATION]
Create a new copy of a branch.

Trivial patch attached.
