Description

If a nested repository inside a features repository can't be loaded, it causes all loading of that main feature repo to stop. So if one embedded repo is not found, the entire features file is ignored from that point on, leaving a partially populated feature list. I think we should log a message about the bad repository and continue attempting to load all of the remainder of the file. This has the drawback that some of the features in the main file may depend on the features in the nested repository, but I think attempting to start the features and logging errors will be more useful than failing completely.
