On an empty repository, this worked for me. At least, it returned with an
exit code of 0 and it put "name = Solaris" in the "repository" section of
the config file. I don't know if that's what it's supposed to do. It
certainly had a different effect than when I used -p.

And the usage message says something still different:
section/property[+|-]=[value] ... or
section/property[+|-]=([value]) ...

That would be the first form from the usage message (where the dots
indicate you can specify it more than once). You can also do
repository/origins="(http1 http2)"

Worked for me.

Thanks. How does that come out in nroff -- as bold?
