Description

We currently have a lot of commands about the feature repositories.

feature:url-add
feature:url-choose
feature:url-list
feature:url-refresh
feature:url-remove

feature:repository-list
feature:repository-remove

So one thing is that the url and repository commands are a bit redundant.
I also added to this by creating the url-choose command.

Btw. I like feature:repository-* much more than feature:url-*.

So what I propose is to only have the following commands:

• feature:repo-add <nameOrUrl> [<Version>]
  Adds a feature repo either by its shortcut name (like feature:chooseurl)
  or by its full url. In the shortcut case the version is also necessary.
  -r will reload and revalidate all feature urls
• feature:repo-list
  Lists feature repos with name and url
• feature:repo-remove <nameOrurl>
  Remove a repo by its defined name or by its full url

So these new commands should have almost all the functionality of the old ones and be easier to understand as well as easier to use.
