In case you have two packages with the same name/version in two repositories, it would be great to be able to choose which one you want using --repos, as it's possible for e.g. opam list.

Actually, we need this in software heritage and for now we have to use a hack based on opam internals, which will not work anymore with 2.1 so having --repos available would be much cleaner ! :)

Cross-referencing #4555 - when we add it to one, it's worth considering all the places where --repositories makes sense!

I'm not sure --repositories in #4555 and --repos here and in opam list have the same meaning.
