Also added a line break after the first synopsis line since having two mutually exclusive commands on the same line create ambiguity (white-space change)

As I investigate this further it's not simply a mis-documented switch, something else is awry:

https://github.com/xenithorb/dnf-plugins-core/blob/master/plugins/repoquery.py#L88-92

Here we see:

    parser.add_argument('--repo', metavar='REPO', action='append',
                        help=_('show only results from this REPO'))
    # make --repoid hidden compatibility alias for --repo
    parser.add_argument('--repoid', dest='repo', action='append',
                        help=argparse.SUPPRESS)

Of course the reason I'm here at all is simply because --repo does not work, the parent DNF command complains about it being bad format for --repofrompath, which is when --repoid works as intended.

Example:

 #> dnf repoquery --repo fedora-nvidia 
usage: dnf [--allowerasing] [-b] [-C] [-c [config file]] [-d [debug level]]
           [--debugsolver] [--showduplicates] [-e ERRORLEVEL]
           [--rpmverbosity [debug level name]] [-q] [-v] [-y] [--assumeno]
           [--version] [--installroot [path]] [--enablerepo [repo]]
           [--disablerepo [repo]] [-x [package]] [--disableexcludes [repo]]
           [--repofrompath [repo,path]] [--noplugins] [--nogpgcheck]
           [--disableplugin [plugin]] [--color COLOR]
           [--releasever RELEASEVER] [--setopt SETOPTS] [--refresh] [-4] [-6]
           [--downloadonly] [-h]
Command line error: argument --repofrompath: bad format: fedora-nvidia

Further sleuthing shows this commit: d1089a7

by @MichaelMraka which is basically the reverse of what I'm trying to accomplish. Perhaps "--repo" is no longer warranted due to the incompatibility with dnf proper, and we can just revert Michael's commit?

I would not merge my PR at this point

This bug also needs to be filed against component: 

python3-dnf-plugins-core-0.1.20-1.fc23.noarch

but I don't see that in the component list, can someone assist?
