* Implications for Resolution

** Dependency Resolution

  This one is obvious...we only have access to the repositories using
  the file:// protocol and living on a truly local filesystem when
  offline.

** Plugin Resolution

  This is similar to dependency resolution. Plugin repositories not
  using file:// or not residing on a local (not shared) filesystem will

        // snapshot timestamp, or some other timestamp later encoded into the metadata.
        // TODO this needs to be repeated here so the merging doesn't interfere with the written metadata
        //  - we'd be much better having a pristine input, and an ongoing metadata for merging instead

        Map<ArtifactRepository, Metadata> previousMetadata = new HashMap<>();
        ArtifactRepository selected = null;
