I don't currently, but have in the past used file:// for remote. The use case was that we had to mirror our internal repo to another corp network. We essentially zipped up the repo and transferred it to their machine (regularly and automatically via scm), which set a mirror entry pointing to the local fs. This had to be done this way because a proxied connection to our internal repo was not allowed, they needed full copies of the entire build in scm.

Deployment is a totally different story, but to radically simplify the core what if we only allowed HTTP repositories for consumption in 2.1?
