Here are some irritating bugs that stuck out from the first couple of
pages. I'm not saying they should all be blockers, and I'm not trying to
provoke people, I am just trying to highlight that there are many known
bugs that can be irritating if you hit them. Some of these are just
tracebacks where they should be caught, however I would also suggest
reading bzrlib/errors.py as many of the error messages could do with a
more "what do I do about it" feel to them.

I didn't pick up the docs bugs, but I believe everyone realises there
needs to be a lot of work in that area.
