In abrowse, it also does --kind, I think it is ok to include this info.
I would use different labels though ("import", "tag", "cset"), but the
current longer labels are fine with me too.

There are several issues here. The tla design strongly suggests that
commands "revisions", "library-revisions", "missing" and "logs" work on
one version only. And I mostly like this, as well as the arch namespace,
something that bazaar[-ng] people want to remove.
The issue with the full form is it harms readability for interactive
users. I would seriously consider to use conditional defaults to improve
readability without introducing ambiguity, and have both --full and
--no-full options in one-version-plus commands. But I may accept any
client behaviour, as long as it does not remove functionality.
