Bug Description
Hi,
Try the following:
man bzr
and then look for "bzr clone". You can't find it. While it is a command that you
can run, it is just an alias, you can find the help by looking for "bzr branch"
instead.
If you are just getting started with bzr, such that you don't know about the
help system, and you don't realise that "branch" is the real command name,
this can trip you up. (Doesn't just apply to "branch").
You can find the help by searching for "clone", but if it just said
bzr clone
alias for "branch", see the help for "bzr branch"
it would help people find what they need.
Thanks,
James
