`revisions` only showing the most recent 500 revs
Metadata
Current evaluation
snapcraft revisions command only displays the most recent 500 revisions per snap, truncating older history. Reported 2510 days ago with zero comments, no labels, and no maintainer response. Likely outdated given 7 years of project evolution.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is 2510 days old with zero comments, no labels, and no maintainer engagement. The snapcraft project has undergone extensive changes over ~7 years, making it highly likely the revisions command behavior or the underlying store API pagination has been addressed. The reporter observed exactly 501 lines (500 revisions + header) across multiple snaps, pointing to a store API page-size limit that the CLI did not paginate through.

Issue body
For a number of snaps I'm collaborator on, I'm only seeing the most recent 501 revisions:
$ for snap in multipass mir-kiosk subsurface mir-kiosk-apps; do
REVS=$( snapcraft revisions $snap )
echo === $snap: $( echo $REVS | wc -l ) total ===
echo $REVS | tail -n5
done
=== multipass: 501 total ===

It is said that all revisions "live forever" on the snap store. But how do we access them?
