i agree. Also, one problem i see is that naming them like the paths, will give strange errors if you have more than one repos like that. One idea could be: have --*media tags also match the local paths: - cauldron/x86_64/core/release - ... also tab completion doesn't work well with all the spaces, definately not if you want to specify more repos...
