Equinox/p2/Composite Repositories (new)

As repositories continually grow in size they become harder to manage. The goal of composite repositories is to make this task easier by allowing you to have a parent repository which refers to multiple children. Users are then able to reference the parent repository and the children's content will transparently be available to them.
