I disagree. The help text says,
usage: tla archive-mirror [options] [{{from to} OR {mine}}] [limit]
along with the words, "If no archive name parameters are provided, your
default archive is used and treated as a MINE parameter." To me, this
clearly indicates that the archive and limit parameters are
syntactically independent, so "archive-mirror tla--devo--1.1" is an
acceptable usage, which should be equivalent to
"archive-mirror `tla my-default-archive` tla--devo--1.1". I find this
usage extremely convenient, as I only mirror parts of my archive to my
public mirror.
