My opinion is that "nova-manage version" and "nova-manage --version" 
should return the same thing, because user interfaces should look like 
they were designed on purpose, and nobody would intentionally design 
those two almost identical commands to return different things.  I think 
it's a bug that needs to be fixed in "nova-manage" rather than something 
Tempest should have to work around.
