```
Previously the unregister command would only check the standard paths to
determine if the repo was registered. We should check the provided path
when available instead.

Changes in v2:
 - Moved configset declaration with the other declarations
 - Extract configset initialization from conditional so it is always
   initialized before it is cleared. It is still deferred until after
   the command arguments are sanity checked.
