I didn't find that "latter" too hard to understand (I admit that my
reading stuttered there, though).

I do not think saying "standalone <repository> argument" there would
help very much, because there is no mention of "standalone" around
there.  The earlier part of the sentence mentions "option" and
"argument", so "the repository specified as an argument is used if
both this option and an argument are given" or something?
