Hi, I am cross posting this to apps mailing list which is probably a better place to discuss it.

The problem is that if you have multiple repositories then you will have repositories that collide. However the numbering scheme seems stupid. I cant see how FileRepository and friends are actually useful?? Can anyone else describe how the repository stuff is used. Is it used at all? Seems terribly broken to me. Enough so that I would not mind deprecating it and recomending people not use it. Or have I missed something? > If the numbering > is needed, the filter string should not contain the serial number part. > Otherwise, the number should be decided relating to the directory's path. right.
