Detailed Description

A foreign repo that allows for direct access to the foreign MW database.

Extension file repos should implement this if they support making DB queries against the foreign repos. Media handler extensions (e.g. TimedMediaHandler) can look for this interface if they need to look up additional information.

An extension will typically implement this by extending the LocalRepo class and overriding these methods. If the foreign repo is meant to be non-writable, the extension should additionally override LocalRepo::assertWritableRepo() and throw an exception – see ForeignDBRepo and ForeignDBViaLBRepo for examples.
