Nothing ;-)

I did see it, but simply forgot about it, as nobody else seemed to be interested nor found anything objectionable in it.

I somehow think --repository is much harder to type than --local, and in the context of the command, somehow --local would mesh better with other existing options --system and --global, but that comment falls into the bikeshedding category.
