Maybe the problem is terminology. To me "local repository" means "a
repository stored locally"; e.g.: if I mirror the central repo on my
hard drive, I have a "local repository". The
${user.home}/.m2/repository folder should perhaps be referred to as
"local cache". I don't think anyone would expect a local cache to be
shared or used the same way that the central repository is.
