From the commit log (014eed80e289c2bbc187ac91bb7b3a35560a971f):
{{{
The URL in the repository config is usually the same as the in the
repository info, unless it refers to a mirror site. This allows for
mirrors to copy the original repository verbatim.
}}}
This would allow pkgman add-repo to detect that the repo you are adding is
a mirror of an already added one (and possibly balance downloads between
the two, for example).
