Yet again you try to tell us that "Every working copy is associated
with a repository. Therefore the term 'repository' is ambiguous, as it
could refer to either the working copy or the repository."

This is horribly disingenuous. Instead of "working copy" and
"repository", consider any two other nouns where one is associated
with the other. "Husband" and "wife", for example: Every husband is
associated with a wife. Therefore the term "wife" is ambiguous, as it
could refer to either the wife or the husband.
