You're not missing anything.  It's not optimal.

But it's also not a constant dance.  If you're close enough network-wise 
to specify a parent proto area, then you're close enough to use an nfs 
path to the parent repository.

I'm sure there's an RFE in here, in addition to a better explanation.

If you want me to file it, wait a week or so.
