Bug Description
From a mailing list discussion:
Martin Pool writes:
The length of 'bzr help commands', which was a concern to me previously
about adding $verb-$subject commands, may be better handled by just adding
some grouping in to that page, and having see-also links between commands.
Eli Zaretskii writes:
Better yet, how about "bzr apropos REGEXP" and "bzr apropos-doc REGEXP"?
The former matches against command names and the "Purpose" line, the
latter matches against the whole documentation text of each command.
A single apropos command with a --doc parameter may be enough.
A new command is probably not even needed, --apropos could be added to 'bzr help'
