if:
auto-sync = true

It means enable the repo to be synced by an "emerge --sync" or 
"emaint sync --auto" command.  It is only for adding the ability to
select repos for syncing inclusion via emerge or emaint sync --auto

if:
[foo]
...
auto-sync = no


It means DO NOT automatically sync this repo until I explicitly tell it
to.  i.e.

"emaint sync --repo foo"

No

Yes, it will cause overlays to be synced twice in a row.  See my other
reply which explains it in detail.
