Repositories are now merged with __iadd__() instead of __add__().

Thus, we are overriding the "+=" operator instead of "+". This
implementation results in a much cleaner solution as we were directly
updating "self" when overriding __add__(), something which isn't really
an acceptable solution as we were changing the supplied in-parameters.
