One of the things that has bothered me for a while now, is the fact that 
the depot and the repository share the same root directory.

Example:

/export/repo
   catalog/ (repository catalog data)

   cfg_cache (depot configuration data; admittedly some of it could be 
construed as repository specific)

   file/ (repository package content)

   index/ (repository search data)

   pkg/ (repository package metadata (manifests))

   trans/ (depot data; in-flight transactions to be added to the repository)

   updatelog/ (repository data; record of changes to catalog)

I think it would be better for a lot of reasons if this information 
separated.

Any thoughts?
