On http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/PageHits, Repository is in position
49 of 1193.

Googling that term doesn't lead to that wiki page, it's probably way too
generic.

That page currently links to a couple of potentially interesting pages
with content that is clearly not supposed to be deleted like:

- RepositoryNaming
- PublishingRepositories
- SharedRepository
- Subrepository
- RepositoryCorruption
- HardlinkedClones
- RequiresFile

So I think it acts a bit as "backbone" for such pages, but from its
content, it'd probably belong to the Mercurial book, not the wiki
(except for the bits about internals).

The question is, if we really have to rip out every single possible
overlap between the wiki and the book.

I think having a couple pages on the wiki about a few important concepts
would be acceptable.

In any case, I've now updated the broken links on that page.
