One thing I like about HG.

"hg" gives basic help like "bzr".

"hg help" will give help similar to "bzr help commands", but
only the command name, plugin name plus the first line from
the docs are printed.

This is a nice one line overview for each command and it is
much friendlier to my eyes when searching for a command and
if I want the usage I can use "hg help COMMAND".
