If I wanted to work on a patch for this, I assume (from a brief look
at the code) I'd need to implement something along the lines of
sshrepository/httprepository etc. The code looks clean enough, but I
can't see immediately what the public API is for a repository proxy
object (ie, what methods does my object need to implement). Is that
documented anywhere? If not, I guess I could find it from browsing the
code, but that's going to take more free time than I have right at the
moment...

Paul.
