I don't think there is any such convention, since I don't think anyone
has done this before (but it would have interesting use cases).

Actually, I don't think rel="alternate" describes the relation well; a
repository isn't exactly an alternate version of the document.

If we don't care about the standard, we might want to use something like
the widely used rel="shortcut icon", e.g. rel="git repository".
