In all likelihood it's not a big deal.

I'm just thinking that for any future automation or tracking, having a very
consistent naming would be best. For example, in the one-liner I posted for
generating the graph showing the inter-tree flow, I needed a special regex
to strip off the "-repo", so that we didn't have a separate target called
"main-repo" and another called "main".
