In a seperate post you asked for a few other things to be done including
minor PEP8 fixes, NEWS needing update, fixing .bazaar.conf, a conflict
on tutorial.txt.

* I fixed the PEP8 I could find.
* NEWS updated to reflect correct command name. Its still in 0.7.0rc1
  because thats the most recent news section I see
* Manpage information on .bazaar.conf fixed
* changes in tutorial.txt reverted for now. I can resubmit those via
  another branch when I have time to side-by-side it
