I second the URL idea. Among other things, it avoid having to maintain
types and access data for different types of repositories. Unless we
expect automated tools to be using META.yml to access repositories,
let's leave it a simple URL.

If people really want a direct access point, let them do it as a pseudo-URL:

repository: cvs:pserver:anonymous@...
