Hmmm.... that feels a bit cumbersome.
It loses the ability to operate on all repositories at once,
and means I'd have to maintain separate config files for each
individual repository (and keep the 'main' sections consistent)
I offer the following patch to support operation on an individual
repository:

I'm not an experience python programmer, so there may well be a better
way to do this. But it seems to operate as required.
Obviously, it's totally up to you whether you want to include this
in the official distribution. But it's definitely something we'll be
adopting here.
