This is intended behaviour. The checkbox is only used to indicate enablement so, for instance, if you had 100 repositories enabled but only wanted to edit 1, then we have that separation. In that particular case you can just click on the single repo and edit it. 

So I think the best way to think about the checkbox is that it shows whether or not a repo is enabled and provides a quick way for you to enable/disable a particular repo. If you want to perform another action, then you must select the row first.
