I think it's also a reasonable goal to allow people to use projects
that refer to embedded remote repositories to build...that way, the
build is totally self-contained. This is one of the things that the
assembly plugin tries to do with its <repositories/> section (though
it doesn't work very well so far...but that's just a matter of time).
IMO, file:// is a nice thing to have, unless we have some way of
allowing the above to work without the file wagon being in core
(maybe I'm not thinking about it the right way).

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.

Subject: Using HTTP repositories for consumption only
After thinking about Greg's comments I think it would be interesting
to ask people who actually uses anything but HTTP repositories for
consumption?
Deployment is a totally different story, but to radically simplify
the core what if we only allowed HTTP repositories for consumption in
2.1?
Thanks,
Jason
