repoman man/repoman.1: Add "BEHAVIOR" section (fix bug 650520)

The manpage references "directory tree", but doesn't explicitly outline
the expected behavior when run anywhere above the package directory
level.

Exact name of section, location within the manpage, and/or wording open
to suggestions.
