ok, I see, but unfortunately resp. fortunately it doesn't have to be 
this way ;-) because depending on how the repositories are being 
configured resp. depending on the implementations these can be scattered 
all over the place.

I think we should rather introduce a cooy method for repositories within 
Yarep.

WDYT?

I will make a note within the config itself and also a warning that this 
will only work for realms containing all repositories under one "root" 
repository.
