Description Kevin McGuire

Thought it would be useful if the set of repo connections could be stored somewhere
external in the file system instead of everyone having their own list cashed in
their workspace (.metadata).  Thus if you get a new workspace you don't need to reconstruct
this information, you can just configure your workspace to point to that list.
Also, it means a team such as ours could share a set of repo connections by
all pointing to the same file.

Formerly: Sharing list of repo connections (1GBD21G)

This could be part of a larger solution of workspace files.
Workspace files would describe references to projects in repositories.  In 
addition for CVS it could describe repo locations, branch tags for the Repo 
Explorer, etc.

The idea is that each reference would be encoded in some provider specific 
form.  This gets Team out of the problem of unifying remote references.
