Bug Description

Very minor issue about configuration help that is hidden inside:

bzr help
bzr help commands
bzr help topics
bzr help configuration

It is 4 commands and 175 lines to read. Configuration is essential to most things in bazaar and "bzr help configuration" hint can be included right in "bzr help" output.

Sorry, I'm not clear what you are proposing?

Personally I feel that stuff like configuration is best taught via tutorials, etc. I'm not really sure that "bzr help configuration" belongs on the main help page, but I could be convinced otherwise. (*I* certainly don't look at 'bzr help' often, so it is hard to gauge what should be there.)

Changed in bzr:
importance: Undecided → Wishlist
