That would in part align things with Aether's somewhat annoying/retarded
behaviour of saying "oh I see com.acme:special tool:1.0-alpha-1" but it
came from repo-1, not repo-2 - so "suck it up - I can't resolve this.".
I can understand the idea behind this - two artefacts from two different
repositories _may_ share the same GAV and yet be totally different, but
I find that to be so rare that that I probably never want this to not
resolve ( that causes lots of annoying issues with using a mirror, and
having to temporarily disable said mirror ).
I could see this change also breaking under mirrors, or maybe that's
just when using mirror:*

To me it would make sense if you could add a reference to the
repository per dependency, like
<dependency>
<groupId>com.acme</groupId>
<artifactId>specialtool</artifactId>
<version>1.0-alpha-1</version>
<repositoryId>acme-store</repositoryId> <!-- only look in this repo, I
know it's not in Central -->
</dependency>
