Thanks! repeat-mode is looking good now (*).

I've added integration for it to diff-hl master, and with that we can 
close this issue.

Thanks all.

(*) Though the first impression, in comparison, was that it is too 
chatty. The hints are definitely helpful for discovery at first, though.

Maybe something like this would be an improvement? Experimental code 
warning.

28.0.50; diff-hl should use `repeat-mode' ... and not `smartrep'.

Commentary in `diff-hl' says

    ;; `diff-hl-mode' highlights uncommitted changes on the side of the
    ;; window (using the fringe, by default), allows you to jump between
    ;; the hunks and revert them selectively.

    ;; Provided commands:
    ;;
    ;; `diff-hl-diff-goto-hunk'  C-x v =
    ;; `diff-hl-revert-hunk'     C-x v n
    ;; `diff-hl-previous-hunk'   C-x v [
    ;; `diff-hl-next-hunk'       C-x v ]
    ;;
    ;; The mode takes advantage of `smartrep' if it is installed.

FWIW, `smartrep' is not part of GNU Emacs or GNU ELPA but available
elsewhere.  (I install it via MELPA)

Now, that `repeat-mode' is part of GNU Emacs, I think this dependency
on `smartrep' can be removed.

FWIW, this is what I have in my `.emacs'.

    (progn
      (defvar diff-hl--repeat-map
	(let
	    ((map
	      (make-sparse-keymap)))
	  map))
      (message "Installed %s" 'diff-hl--repeat-map)
      (cl-loop for
	       (cmd . key)
	       in
	       '((diff-hl-diff-goto-hunk . "=")
		 (diff-hl-revert-hunk . "n")
		 (diff-hl-previous-hunk . "[")
		 (diff-hl-next-hunk . "]"))
	       do
	       (define-key diff-hl--repeat-map key cmd)
	       (put cmd 'repeat-map 'diff-hl--repeat-map)))
