This is a shorthand similar to --system but instead uses
the config file of the current repository.

Junio, may I ask what happened to this patch?

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.

Heya,

Ha! I had --local at first, but then figured that might be confusing
since 'local' usually refers to 'on my machine', rather than 'in this
repository'. I'm fine with either.
