Jazz scores often print starting repeats. I really don't care too much if
this is standard or not. It's just more readable to me and the musicians I
use to work with (I don't use it for "classical" music though).
Since the trick below works easily, I don't see the need for such change.

I hope you have a good reason to deviate from standard music typesetting
practice. As far as I can see, it's hard-coded into LilyPond to not
typeset
the opening repeat at the beginning of a piece, but if there is a general
need for such an option, it should be easy to make this configurable.

I have the same problem. I don't know if lilypond can do that, but I
use the following cheap trick:
{
\time 4/4
\partial 128 s128 % create an empty tiny partial measure before
the repeat
\repeat volta 2
{
c''2
c''
}
}
which works form me. I'd recommend you to use raggedright=##t in the
layout for a single bar score though.
