The `repo` tool wouldn't be executed as `git repo` though, would it? So
I'm not sure whether that really is relevant at all. On the other hand
though I do see that it might be confusing when you interact with the
`repo` tool on a daily basis.
i don't think it would be a problem in actual use. i'm more concerned
about people talking about it. really kinda a trademark thing.
"Query" is way too generic from my point of view, as it doesn't say
_what_ you query. "Meta" might be a bit better even though it still
loses the information that you act on the repository level, which is a
bit of a shame.
by that logic, almost all git commands are too tersely named.
but in practice, a sufficiently suggestive mnemonic is good enough.
preferably a verb, because it's a command.
the fact that it's now being made into a "multi-tool" also kinda
preempts future collisions.
