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.
