I do think 'bzr help foo' should display all the help on foo, not just 
the summary.  I'd rather instead see some or all of these:

  * merge or reimplement bzr-pager so that help is shown in a pager 
instead

  * add a short form that gives you just the brief summary, like bzr foo 
--usage

  * split topics into smaller components, as you did with log-formats, 
and we could add log-examples
