  i'm trying to write a quick and dirty primer for some of my
colleagues to get started with bk, so i thought i'd start by
categorizing some of the bk commands (i've poked around the docs and
didn't see anything quite like what i was after so i figured i'd write
my own).

  as a start, going thru "bk helptool", my first category would be
informational commands about the bk install itself.  so far, i
collected:

  $ bk version
  $ bk bin
  $ bk path
  $ bk gethost
  $ bk getuser
  $ bk zone

the common theme, of course, being stuff about bk completely
independent from any repo.  (did i miss any?  i'm still going thru the
list.)

  a second category would be printing metadata about a repo, such as:

  $ bk root
  $ bk parent
  $ bk id
  $ bk status
  $ bk level

that sort of thing -- info without getting into actual file contents
or changesets or revisions.

  if there's any interest, i can post/publish the results when i'm
done.  obviously, there's more to do, this is just a start.
