load default repository:
	load the repository specified in the local tlpdb as default,
	managed by tlmgr option repository or tlmgr repository
load default net repository:
	use mirror.ctan.org service to determine a mirror

If anyone has a bad naming suggestion, easy to change ;-)

Back from Joshua Tree NP and Grand Canyon NP ... great trip.
