> I ran into some issues recently with the IT tests. I use a mirrorof * to
> redirect everything to a repo manager but this is also redirecting the file
> based repositories. I can't think of any good reason this should apply to
> anything other than remote repos. I have two proposals:
>
> 1. Change maven so that file based repos ignore all mirror settings
> 2. Change maven so that file based repos ignore the wildcard but
> will respond if the mirror specifically names it.
>
> I can't think of any reason why a mirror should override a local repo so I
> suggest we go with #1.
