Hi,

I'm mirroring SVN update site to some local machine to speed up the builds of my product which includes SVN.
I'm using ant p2.mirror task. It works fine, except that mirrored repository metadata contains absolute references to artifacts in your repository. So as a result, I have my own local copy of everything, but when trying to use it, your repository is used. This is obviously not what I want, because it slows our build :-(

I'm mirroring several other projects repositories and this happens only with SVN, so I think this is an issue with SVN repo.

Looking into your repository metadata I see that content.xml contains references to other repositories:

 <references size='4'>
    <repository uri='http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/0.7/update-site/' url='http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/0.7/update-site/' type='0' options='0'/>
    <repository uri='http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases' url='http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases' type='1' options='1'/>
    <repository uri='http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases' url='http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases' type='0' options='1'/>
    <repository uri='http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/0.7/update-site/' url='http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/0.7/update-site/' type='1' options='0'/>
  </references>

I believe that due to this entry, p2.mirror task translates artifacts URLs to absolute (using 'http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/0.7/update-site/' as reference).

Do you know why this "references" entry is included in your repo metadata?
Do you think it'd be possible to remove the first entry from the references list? (It seems to refer to itself, so should not be needed)

My another question is, if your releng project is available somewhere, so I could have a look at the commands you're using to create your repo.

Thanks in advance
