I love repeat-complex-command.  I use it all the time.  You can use
M-n and M-p to go back and forth in the command history, just like in
other modes.  However, the keystrokes are all pretty clumsy.  In my
.emacs, I have the following:

(global-set-key                             [f7] 'repeat-complex-command)
(define-key minibuffer-local-map            [f7] 'previous-history-element)
(define-key minibuffer-local-map            [f8] 'next-history-element)
(define-key minibuffer-local-completion-map [f7] 'previous-history-element)
(define-key minibuffer-local-completion-map [f8] 'next-history-element)
(define-key minibuffer-local-must-match-map [f7] 'previous-history-element)
(define-key minibuffer-local-must-match-map [f8] 'next-history-element)

There's a couple of other minibuffer local maps as well, but these 3
are the most useful.

That way, I can press f7, then *keep* pressing f7 to go back in the
history and f8 is conveniently next to it if I want to go forward.
