Research direction

Start by reproducing pulp container repository and pulp container repository --help, then compare their command listings and the matching pulp shell completion. Done means both outputs include the same repository commands, including create, destroy, sync, and update, and shell completion exposes them too.

Describe the bug
Just noticed that when you use the command pulp container repository you don't get the same output compared to if you pass the --help option,

See below examples

pulp container repository
Usage: pulp container repository [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Options:
  -t, --type [container|push]
  --help                       Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  label
  list
  role
  show
  tag
  task
  untag
  version

versus

pulp container repository --help
Usage: pulp container repository [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Options:
  -t, --type [container|push]
  --help                       Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  content
  copy-manifest
  copy-tag
  create
  destroy
  label
  list
  role
  show
  sync
  tag
  task
  untag
  update
  version

this has also effect in the pulp shell showing not full command completion

pulp> container repository
label    list     role     show     tag      task     untag    version

To Reproduce
See above

Expected behavior
I would expect same output

Additional context
I was just thrown off by it when i was looking for the pulp container repository create help, which initially did not appear in the command list.
