[jira] Commented: (MRM-827) Use a "work" directory for the repo path (e.g. if the repo definition root is mydir/ then put the actually repo under /mydir/repository)

Brett Porter commented on MRM-827:
----------------------------------

I don't think this is wise, you lose the flexibility of specifying what you actually want. It also doesn't help if "repository" under the root is actually an important directory.

The default configuration should not point at a dangerous location. If someone explicitly creates a repo in a bad spot, and sets the permissions to be able to be deleted, and hits delete, and opts to delete the contents beyond the warning... they're probably pretty intent on deleting it :)
