I'd say just have a set of long options that are mutually exclusive,
one for each "subcommand".

svn bisect --start
svn bisect --good
etc.

This will be easiest to do with the current argument parsing code, and
also means people can type things in any order they like (--good -r42,
or -r42 --good).

Note though that the option names are global. But I think the
option names you need (start, bad, good, skip, reset, run) are
still available.
