I approve of this one.

I've tried to avoid using "branch" in documentation, because then you
have to explain that it's merely a synonym for "repository".  Due to the
need for terseness in the short descriptions, I'd prefer "repo" here.

Suits me, though "copy" should be "tree" for consistency (with the rest
of the documentation).

Might as well get rid of "value" altogher: "Set a preference (...)."
