Commit has a "See also: bugs", do you think it would be
better to change "(e.g. --fixes=lp:2345)" to '(see "bzr help
bugs")'?

So you get told if you do "bzr commit --fixes 21345", but you
don't get told if you do "bzr commit --fixes bogus:1324" or
"bzr commit --fixes lp:word". I thought these were less important,
but do you think they should have the pointer anyway?

Thanks,

James
