    'repo': """A BE repository containing child bugdirs

BE repositories are stored in an abstract `Storage` instance, which
may or may not be versioned.  If you're using BE to track bugs in your
local software, you'll probably be using an on-disk storage based on
the VCS you use to version the storage.  See `be help init` for
details about automatic VCS-detection.

##
    'server': """A server for remote BE command execution

The usual way for a user to interact with a BE bug tracker for a
particular project is to clone the project repository.  They can then
use their local BE client to browse the repository and make changes,
before pushing their changes back upstream.  For the average user
seeking to file a bug or comment, this can be too much work.  One way
to simplify the process is to use a command server.

The remote server will be running something like:

    $ be serve-commands --host 123.123.123.123 --port 54321

And the local client can run:

    $ be --server http://123.123.123.123:54321 list

or whichever command they like.  The command line arguments are parsed
locally, and then POSTed to the command server, where the command is
executed.  The output of the command is returned to the client for
display.
