[...] since not all repository urls have a host name
Would be "localhost" then, isn't it? Anyway, this was just a half-thought idea.

Not necessarily. For "file:///home/user/stuff", java.net.URL just returns an
empty string for the hostname. But I guess it depends on what you use to parse
the URL.
But I think the hostname is not good to use anyway because of the possible
duplicates.
> Default remote repository id not safe

> Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.10, 2.1.0

> The default id for a remote repository is just the repo URL. However, a URL
> typically contains all kind of characters that are not safe for usage in
> local file paths. E.g. the colon ':' from the URL scheme will just blow up on
> Windows. The slashes from the URL also cause troubles for a path that is
> meant to be a simple file name instead of a directory spec.
> Better choices for the default repo id could be the host name only or just
> some hex-encoded MD5-digest of the URL.
