It seems to me that until about 1800 or a little later repeats were _normally_ done in the Da Capo.... However, I have yet to see a performing part from that period where anyone made a note of not playing repeats in the Da Capo.
I cannot give an exact citation, but I am quite certain that I have seen scores (more than one) by Boccherini with the instruction "D.C. senza replica."
When I had occasion, once, to write a minuet into one of my own works, I used that same instruction because in 20th-21st c. music repeats are decidedly not optional--at least, they're not supposed to be.
