Hi Eli,

I don't agree these are not developer/debug commands, as they all deal with bzr internals (file ids and revision ids). Every unhidden command means making the list of commands new users are confronted with longer, so I think we should be careful what we add. That said, perhaps there is use in making some of these debug commands visible.

IIRC added and modified overlap with functionality already available elsewhere, and they are up for deletion. inventory has (at least as normal users are concerned) the same functionality as ls.

"bundle-info" ideally should be merged into "info".

I would argue that lookup-revision, find-merge-base, revision-info and file-id are developer-oriented or debugging commands. In normal use, users should never have to touch them. last revision information is already available in the form of "bzr revno" and "bzr version-info".
