I've always been under the impression (and pleased with that
impression) that were going to do just this; store the FULL url, and
store the repos url. There are precious few operations at this stage
that actually need the repos url, but everything needs the full
url...so we burden ourselves with the calculation overhead every time
we need the full url? The subtraction to get a relative url is
extremely straightforward and cheap (drop a `\0' at strlen (repos_url)
+ 1).
