The dot repository convention is not well know to users and its documenation is hidden as a note in an ancilliary config variable's documenation.

Document the dot repository 'do what I mean' convention in the config variable it is used in, and in the cli (command line interface) documenation page to give regular users a chance to find it.

Philip Oakley (2):
  config doc: add dot-repository note
  doc: command line interface (cli) dot-repository dwimmery
