 Description   

Tools like mongoimport and mongorestore only print options using the help argument. If they printed a short description similar to what is seen here:

http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Import+Export+Tools

it would be really helpful to users. The description for mongoimport should also describe how the import happens (insert line by line, flush to disk every 60 seconds). Man pages for *nix environments would also be useful.

I'll add short descriptions. Man pages are under debian/ and are up to date as of 2 weeks ago. (That they don't end up in the autobuilt tarballs is, IMO, a separate issue; if you want that, please create a separate case.)
