How many? Ordered by what, timestamp? Might want to provide either a
filter or another call that just asks for the most recent one, which
feels a bit more geared usage-wise towards tracking the progress of an
ongoing sync.

Personally, I like just using "status", since that will read "The status
of the repo is synchronized as of 10:30" or "The status of this repo is
synchronizing for [123] seconds". But that's a pet peeve against
concatenating two words like "syncstatus" without a separator.

+1, I think that's the more common case than a synchronous, er, sync.

I forget, is this information available in "repo list" as well? It'd be
cool to see a summary view of all the repos that shows which ones are in
the process of synchronizing.
