yes, this is how the org.wyona.yarep.impl.repo.fs.FileSystemRepository 
is working, but please be aware that this is only specific to this 
implementation.

You might want to check out other implementations, e.g.

org.wyona.yarep.impl.repo.vfs.VirtualFileSystemRepository

whereas a sample configuration can be found at

https://svn.wyona.com/repos/public/yarep/trunk/src/test/repository/new-vfs-example


Btw, you can migrate your data from one implementation to the other by using

./build.sh copy-repository -Dcopy.src.repo.id=foo -Dcopy.dest.repo.id=bar

whereas see

https://svn.wyona.com/repos/public/yarep/trunk/README.txt

you mean to debug within the persistent data?

I am not sure if I understand. You mean like connections of different 
data paths with the same data?
