Usage case:
  * User A installs version 1.0 which contains bug /abc.
  * Development continues, fixing bug /abc.
  * User A wants to see which bugs affect their version, and query the
    main bug repository.
      $ be --repo http://bugseverywhere.org/bugs list --this-version
      bea/abc:om: Whatsit not implemented.
      $ be --repo http://bugseverywhere.org/bugs show bea/abc
                ID : abc...
        Short name : bea/abc
          Severity : minor
            Status : fixed
	    ...
      Whatsit not implemented.

      Whatsit implemented.
    "Aha!", says the user, "I need to upgrade to a version of BE
    that's more recent than 2010/01/23 to get Whatsit functionality."

This would require snapshotting the current BE bugdir on
packaging/installation.  Easy enough to do, but usage should probably be
  be --repo INSTALLED
or
  be --installed
to load the snapshot bugdir.

I'm not sure if we actually want to do this, so I'm demoting the issue
to wishlist.
