Unless there was no confusion because the practice of omitting the repeats on the D.C. was so widely known that everybody did it and nobody ever got confused. :-)
But then why did Boccherini, and later Beethoven, specifically indicate "senza repetitione"? This is precisely the question, and we are now turning around in circles.
I don't think anyone will come up with a clear statement as to "in Vienna repeats were always (never) observed in the Da Capo from 1750 til 1820", which could stand without any questions, so there will always remain some doubt. And lots of room for interpretation. Thanks for that, old music would be terribly boring without different interpretations.
