I didn't find that "latter" too hard to understand (I admit that my reading stuttered there, though). I do not think saying "standalone argument" there would help very much, because there is no mention of "standalone" around there. The earlier part of the sentence mentions "option" and "argument", so "the repository specified as an argument is used if both this option and an argument are given" or something?
