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...
