I think we should support http:// in the future.  Seems like it would be 
annoying to restrict to a file path at this point given that it's been a url 
till now and will (hopefully) support a url in the future.  

I guess I'd vote for supporting both.  It's easy enough to detect whether 
something is a url and just retry as a file path.

We've run into some issues with the repository spec being a uri rather than a

filesystem anyway, so a uri is overkill, and in fact could lead someone to 
believe we support something like http:// or worse gopher://, which is not the 
case.

So I think it would be best to convert this setting to a file path, which is 
more consistent with the rest of our config anyway.

Thoughts?  What consequences will this have?  I suspect the maven plugin uses 
the repo setting, but at the system level by setting -D...

Maybe we need to implement this with a backward compatible translation from a 
file url to a file path?
