"tweak" isn't meant to be a ping-pong: it means the person merging it to
bzr.dev should make some minor changes as part of the merge process.

To test out doc changes, I simply run "make docs" in the root of the
bzr.dev tree. I can then read the formatted output. Alternatively, you
can typically just convert by hand using a command like ...

  rst2html foo.txt > foo.html

That will pick up 99% of doc bugs because issues are nearly always
ReST parsing gotchas.

Lots of us are back from leave/holidays today so hopefully we'll
get the second review/approval needed and get these landed RSN.
(FWIW, I was on leave last week but wanted to get some particular
stuff done regardless.)
