Generic repository - IRepository<T> or IRepository

Viewed 15171

I have seen two different approaches for creating generic repositories. What are differences between those two approaches (pros and cons) ? Please diregard difference in the methods because I am interested in difference between

 public interface IRepository<T> where T : class

and

 public interface IRepository : IDisposable

Is there any difference in functionality, flexibility, unit testing ... ? What will I get or lose ?
Is there any difference how they are registered in Dependency Injection frameworks ?

Option 1

 public interface IRepository<T> where T : class
 {
       T Get(object id);
       void Attach(T entity);
       IQueryable<T> GetAll();
       void Insert(T entity);
       void Delete(T entity);
       void SubmitChanges();
 }

Option 2

 public interface IRepository : IDisposable
    {
        IQueryable<T> GetAll<T>();
        void Delete<T>(T entity);
        void Add<T>(T entity);
        void SaveChanges();
        bool IsDisposed();
    }
