Seems we can't support relative paths if we stick with urls. The thought was that if we did add http support, we could add using a different repo spec, say:

<repository-url>the_url</repository-url>

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 file path. It has been pointed out that really we only support repos in 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?
