I'm not sure why the metadata should be separate, but I can see the
release-cache, snapshot-cache and workspaces being useful. I like
this
suggestion better than the original. The locking would be nice too.
the metadata separation is a bit of a toss up for me - it would
have the benefit of being able to interchange a local and remote
repository instead of the metadata format being separate. I added
it in here as a related change because of that benefit, but it
isn't really related to the initial requirements.
If we're not using repository ids, how are you going to designate the
source. If you are going to use URLs and someone changes it, how are
you going to guarantee consistency?
I don't think there's any value in separating the metadata. If you're
going to use transactions now you need two instead of one to lay down
the files.
