Meaning all the operations we currently support requires to be done
in a repository?  If so, that may be acceptable.

When a new operation that does not require to be in a repository is
added, or when an existing operation is updated not to require to be
in a repository, reverting the change and then checking in the
implementation of each operation if we are in a repository instead
should be easy enough---it pretty much should amount to Rafael's
patch, right?

But then, being prepared for that future already is also OK, so I
can go either way.  Please figure it out between you ;-)

Thanks, all.
