baz got rid of archive-setup, make-category, make-branch and
make-version by making archive-setup setups implicit in the operations
that create base-0 or version-0 revisions.  I could go on and on, but
it's clear that you have never compared "tla help" to "baz help", much
less looked for commands that have different default behavior.  Why
not actually do some looking instead of mindlessly bashing it?
