Benjamin Bentmann commented on MANTTASKS-142:
---------------------------------------------
bq. [...] since not all repository urls have a host name
Would be "localhost" then, isn't it? Anyway, this was just a half-thought idea.
bq. When would the repository id be used in a file path that the special
characters would blow up?
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that. The repo id will be used for the metadata
files, i.e. {{maven-metadata-<repo-id>.xml}}.

> The default id for a remote repository is just the repo URL. However, a URL
> typically contains all kind of characters that are not safe for usage in
> local file paths. E.g. the colon ':' from the URL scheme will just blow up on
> Windows. The slashes from the URL also cause troubles for a path that is
> meant to be a simple file name instead of a directory spec.
> Better choices for the default repo id could be the host name only or just
> some hex-encoded MD5-digest of the URL.
