New description:
The current help for `sage --dev` says this:
{{{
~» sage --dev help
usage: sage-dev [-h] subcommand ...
The developer interface for sage.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
subcommands:
abandon Abandon a ticket or branch.
checkout Checkout another branch.
<snip>
}}}
The following line should be added at the end
{{{
Optional argument for subcommands:
-h, --help show help message for subcommand and exit
usage: sage-dev subcommand --help
}}}
I was thinking that the one liner explanation for the subcommands seemed
too terse. And then I couldn't understand why there was no way to get
expanded help on the subcommand.
Secondly, `sage --dev` should be added to the current scripts so that this
`--dev` option shows up on invoking `sage --advanced`.
