Now I understand better, thank you.

I think, you have a reasonable question. Your proposal, though, would
have its drawbacks too.

I -- for instance -- often take some repositories on a USB stick with
me. If the default was not established in creation, working with my
repository would depend on the global settings of the user I currently
using my repository with. This could be very confusing as well for that
use case.

But except for this, I do not see any further big drawback at the
moment. Perhaps wait whether there are further discussions concerning
this thread, and if nothing speaks against this, you could try to open
an improvement ticket with your proposal. Except -- of course -- if DRH
already rejected it here on the mailing list at that time ...


Ciao,
