We're already dependent on being able to get to the repo -- being
dependent on grabbing things from a web server or similar also for
"added" pieces isn't crazy I don't think.  Although doing it in a way
that's flexible enough to _allow_ local files is fine, I don't want to
be showing that as the "one true way"
