I think we should go with option #2, but with an extra command in mgarepo 
there should be less work.

something like:
 - "mgarepo switch -d 1 core/backports"
 - "magrepo switch core/release"

the idea is to move your local repository to the directed position, but if it 
doesn't exist, that it is to be created. (possibly with a --create option).
