nice catch; added these changes.

not doing this, because I want it to be usable as input to xargs. eg. 
monotone ls missing | xargs monotone revert.

haven't added this one; not fundamentally opposed, but in general I'm 
thinking of *reducing* the chatter in command names, not expanding it. 
eg. considering changing "monotone ls missing" to just "monotone missing".

you'll also notice I've committed changes which remove the 
(file|manifest) arguments in all but one place (cat), since I'm phasing 
out file certs, most places it used to be necessary were cert related, 
so it's no longer needed. nobody seems to use file certs, and it just 
complicates matters. fewer ideas to explain == better.
