3. mtn help command (instead of the --help option) is used to access that collection of man pages 4. the --help option displays the synopsis only with a mention to use mtn help 'command' to get detailed info


Minor quibble: It seems somewhat surprising that 'foo --help' and
'help foo' are different.

Bigger concern: How do we display these man pages?  In particular
keeping in mind that we need to work on win32, which has no man page
infrastructure in place (i.e., shelling out to 'man
monotone-<command name>' doesn't work).
