I think the general problem is that we don't have a way to list all
options. The --version option is one of the few that works with no
subcommand, too.
CC'ing dev@ for thoughts on how to fix. Maybe 'svn help' should print
out one last line, saying
"Run 'svn help --options' for a complete list of options and which
subcommands they work with."
...and then we implement that?
