It is fallout from the compromise this past summer. Because of risk to
the signing key, the signing key was changed. In order to allow relatively
seemless switch between the keys, while not allowing fallback the newkey
repositories were created and the old update repositories changed to
have just enough stuff to switch people to the new repositories.

That should work OK. Within the repository directory all references should
be relative, so as l;ong as your .repo file points to the correct top
level directory, everything should work.
