Give option to Repair only the selected package

Status: Looking for Maintainer(s)

NI Package Manager 2022 Q4 released, which updates the CLI (nipkg.exe) repair command to support a new "--exclude-dependencies" option to reinstall specified packages without reinstalling dependencies.

It would be very helpful to be able have an option to only repair the selected package. Typically the issue I have been seeing is with a single package that failed a post-install/post-install all action. Repair will go all they way back the hierarchy, which is unneeded in this case and take much longer leading to additional down time. They should be able to just repair the single package; the default being the current full hierarchy repair is fine, but there must be an option. The workaround of uninstalling and reinstalling the package is also problematic as mentioned in several other issues, since you are forced to uninstall all packages that depend on this package.
