I don't understand what squeaksource has to do with that.
With main repository, I mean the repository of the project itself. 

Almost all ConfigurationOfXXX are hosted together with the project itself. They 
are also referenced in that repo. The MetacelloRepo or MetaRepos are almost 
always secondary copies (if not, they should be)
