Every time I try to read cocci and spatch docs, I'm impressed at how
impenetrable they are ;) Nevertheless, I'd still like to understand how
the pattern works. I'll take a stab in the dark, and perhaps you can
correct me.

I assume that `|` characters in parentheses are a logical OR, and each
of the expressions checks for the `-` side in the original and replaces
it with the `+` side.

Then this is another expression that matches literal `()` after the
previous expression? `+the_repository` adds `the_repository` right after
the opening `(`, then leaves the uninteresting `...` in place.

If so, I don't know how cocci/spatch tells the difference between
literal `()` vs an expression in the syntax (preceding whitespace?).

Either way, as Elijah said, your plain explanation is clear enough that
I feel comfortable with this.
