Matthew Leeds 90bd06304a docs: Clarify which options can be used multiple times
Some of the options do not explicitly say they can be used multiple
times even though it's clear from the code that they can. This commit
fixes that by saying so in the manpages.

<title>Description</title>
<para>
Creates or updates a repository with an application build.
<arg choice="plain">LOCATION</arg> is the location of the
repository. <arg choice="plain">DIRECTORY</arg> must be a
finalized build directory. If <arg choice="plain">BRANCH</arg>
is not specified, it is assumed to be "master".
</para>
<para>
If <arg choice="plain">LOCATION</arg> exists, it is assumed to
be an OSTree repository, otherwise a new OSTree repository is
created at this location. The repository can be inspected with
the <command>ostree</command> tool.
</para>
<para>
The contents of <arg choice="plain">DIRECTORY</arg> are committed
on the branch with name <literal>app/APPNAME/ARCH/BRANCH</literal>,
where ARCH is the architecture of the runtime that the application
is using. A commit filter is used to enforce that only the contents
of the <filename>files/</filename> and <filename>export/</filename>
subdirectories and the <filename>metadata</filename> file are included
in the commit, anything else is ignored.
</para>
<para>
The repo-update command should be used to update repository
metadata whenever application builds are added to a repository.
