Well, if we allowed an arbitrary prefix to define a repository, you
could name your various archives like:
address@hidden
address@hidden
address@hidden
address@hidden
address@hidden
Here, the repository prefix is "address@hidden". That means that all of
the above archives are part of the same repository. When I do a "tla
get address@hidden", it would work even though I hadn't
explicitly registered it, since it matches the address@hidden prefix.
All of these archives would be subdirectories of the same URL.
If later you wanted another repository on a different host, you could
make its prefix say "address@hidden", containing archives like:
address@hidden
Now that archive also matches the "address@hidden" prefix, but there's a
simple solution: disambiguate by taking the longest match of the
repository prefixes.
