How about something like

  --suffixes=:#1:#2:#3

uses first character as a delimiter to separate the suffixes.  A single
--suffix option could plausibly provide the suffix if only one stage is
being checked out, and doesn't have the grim delimiter wart.

I suppose, though, that if this is going to be wrapped up in a script,
it doesn't really matter that much.
